<p>Dear Q,</p>
<p>If there is anything I learned during my years of training advocacy strategies, it&#8217;s this: <strong>don&#8217;t fight against what you don&#8217;t want</strong>.  Focus your time, money, and energy on what you want to achieve, not on what you want to eradicate.  Give your attention to your desired outcome, whatever that is.  What do you want?</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">- Equitable access and opportunities?<br />
- Health for all?<br />
- Corporate integrity?<br />
- Peace?<br />
- Equal rights under the law?<br />
- Social inclusion?<br />
- Justice?</p>
<p>Whatever you focus on, you feed.  Be aware of where you direct your energy.</p>
<p>Love always,<br />
Mom</p>
