Our Agency 0 ▲ Matt Dobbins 52 minutes ago · Culture · hide When leadership vacates its responsibility to be a stabilizing force, trust in institutions falls incredibly fast, and people grasp for answers, at times creating their own. What’s really being affected is our own agency, our ability to predict what comes next, and our fear of being able to control and navigate outcomes. So we have to pivot from only predicting destructive eventualities and shift to a balance of living our lives, being prepared in general, and having the actionable belief that we will make it through whatever we are going through. Remembering we are not alone and deepening our connection to our community are perhaps the most valuable resources we have right now. Commenting on Bubbles has been removed. Why?
