Psychologists say: ”Our sense of belonging defines the value of our life & it helps us cope with life when life gets rough.” And we all know: it doesn’t get any rougher than when we feel lonely. In order to thrive in life we need to find balance between living in integrity (being our best self and within society) and living in authenticity (being our favourite self). Often those two are at odds, unless we develop those inner qualities and build them into personal strengths, so that we can design the kind of belonging we personally need. Belonging doesn’t happen to happen - it is made happen.
