From time to time,
We all need someone or people to stand with us in solidarity, over something that’s happening in our lives.
These people in question could be in our network or complete strangers.

This is where I ask this question –
How good is your network when it comes to solidarity?

Are they the kind of people you bet on with your life, that they will be in your corner?
Or, are they the kind of people who you know for a fact that they will never stand with you in solidarity?

Wait a minute,
Could it be that you are the one person in your circle that everyone doesn’t want to stand with, because of your ways?
I am lucky enough to have an amazing network. Not only professionally and friends/family but also many people whom I feel will support me in my political and social efforts. So yes – my network is just what I need!
👏🏿🙏🏽
That’s a really great way to look at things! We often have a very outward-focused view on the world, but it’s important to step back and take stock of ourselves, as well.
🙏🏽👏🏿
I have an amazing network because we all stick to business and hardly get involved in anything different. I’m a firm believer to not discuss politics or religion in my network and it’s works just fine for us all that are within.
❤️👏🏿
I am all about being loyal. Loyalty is key and where you can you should always support, but there are many people who do not do the same for sure x
👍🙏🏽
Thankfully, I have cultivated a strong network of like-minded people who are loving, supportive, and care about he world around them. These are the people who I choose to spend the majority of my time with, because they reflect values that I find to be most important.
🙏🏽👍
It is good to think about who is really there for you, your support network, and the people who stand for the same things you do. Best to have these people in your network!
❤️🙏🏽
As you get older, you need to have people in your life who are the kind of people you bet on with your life, and they will be in your corner. I’m too old to have acquaintances rather have true friends
👍🙏🏽
I’m empathetic, and I need solidarity with my friends. Thank you for one more inspirational article!
❤️👏🏿
My family is my only support and the only one I can count on. Networks are not reliable. Thanks for bringing this question on.
🙏🏽👍
Some of us are not so lucky to have a good network but get by just fine. Would love to feel how to have it though. Need people who can support around.
👍🙏🏽
I feel like its getting harder to find these people who will stand up for you in solidarity! I am blessed to have some. Thank you for the unique perspective.
