Q: What do you mean by your authentic self? In your experience, what limits people from connecting with their true selves, and how can this be overcome?
Diana Lockett says our authentic nature, our true nature from the moment we are born, is love. Ego, conditioning, pain, trauma, and drama can take us away from love. Love is always the question, and love is always the answer. Authenticity is the pathway to eradicate the ego.
Q: How can cultivating Humility, Kindness, and Love help address the global crisis of stress, anxiety, and depression, especially among young people?
Dr. Kate Dunn: The greatest tool we can give anyone is mindfulness.
Cultivating mindfulness helps alleviate stress and anxiety. It means coming back to yourself, becoming rooted within yourself and your community, and bringing greater awareness and intention to your attention.
Q: Within a world that’s focused on negative news, how can we elevate and spread humility?
Eric Le Reste: The power of stories is important. Beyond the words, what we remember is the personality and the story. Media people are great storytellers. I once created a documentary about the 10th anniversary of 9/11 called 10 Years Later: What About Hope? Rather than focusing on the tragedy, it shared stories of how people generated hope. Many viewers said they tuned in because they saw the word “hope” and appreciated seeing hope brought to television. The media can also bring out the bright side of humanity.
Q: Can you share an experience where your own personal transformation created a ripple effect in your family, workplace, or community?
Eric Le Reste: Working in media can be stressful, so I realized that if I don’t express inner peace myself, I have to ask what I am bringing to work. I used to get into conflicts with manage ment and colleagues. People
would say we need to learn to respect one another, and I would ask, What about learning to love one another?
For me, telling colleagues that I appreciate them made a big difference in my life and in theirs. People would ask, “How can you be so calm when it’s such a stressful deadline?” I would say, “It’s not a deadline. It’s a line to become alive.”
If I cultivate peace, I bring peace into the world. My transformation from being negative and arrogant to becoming more peaceful has been one of my biggest contributions to my work.
Q: What daily practices have helped you cultivate humility?
Dr. Kate Dunn: Humility, Kindness, and Love are interconnected. Humility is important because nothing we do is in isolation. We should recognize that both good and bad experiences pass, celebrate our successes, and be grateful for rejection and mistakes because they are opportunities for growth.
