There are often times that we end up in a position to protect people around us.
When we see someone being made fun of, neglected, or given a hard time are some examples.
Step up. Step out. Be confident and collected and try to right those wrongs.
Years ago I got a souvenir from Israel that had my name on it along with attributes of the name, Ari.
One of the things it said was:
מגן חלשים
Or “magen halashim,” which means protector of the weak.
Anytime something is going on and I notice myself sticking up for someone, I think of that.
But we can all channel our inner protector, for people we know and don’t know.
We grow stronger because of it.
We grow wiser from it.
And the others gain from it as well.
So channel your inner protector.

My name is Ari Gunzburg and I use stories from the great outdoors to talk about creating a greater sense of belonging using my keynotes and coaching.
