The True Kingdom
“Our ambition should be to rule ourselves, the true kingdom for each one of us; and true progress is to know more, and be more, and to do more.”
Resilience begins with the power to rule ourselves, especially when the world feels chaotic. In precarious times, it’s easy to feel swept up by external forces, but true strength comes from mastering our inner kingdom - our thoughts, emotions, and actions. By knowing more, being more, and doing more, we not only grow individually but contribute to the progress of our communities. Being a Joyful Queer means ruling ourselves with compassion and purpose, knowing that every step forward adds resilience and joy to our lives and to the world around us.
