The Importance of Community

 A 5min read
Communities play an important role in every aspect of our lives. We have communities in our friends, our families, our jobs, our neighborhoods, and in so many other places.  Having a sense of community unites us; it can make us feel as though we are a part of something greater than ourselves. It can give us opportunities to connect with people, to reach for our goals, and makes us feel safe and secure. Our PLT Community, is especially warm, inviting and nurturing and that is because of each and every one of them; their presence is everything to us
 
Life trips up each and every one of us sometimes, and when that happens we need people to remind us of our true potential, what we are capable of. We each have a gift that we’re meant to share and finding people to remind us of that makes life a little easier. Encouragement is something I see in the PLT Community daily and it’s beautiful to me.
 
Life happens, the good, the bad, and the unthinkable. It’s important to have people around to help carry you through all of the emotions. A community should challenge you to become a better person. Whether you need a new outlook on life, or a support team to help you rise from a difficult, challenging place. Sometimes we need tough love and raw honesty to show us that the biggest obstacle in life might just be ourselves. Sometimes we simply need to know we are not alone. 
 
Perhaps the biggest benefit of a community is the opportunity for you to give back. The self-fulfillment you feel when you give more than you receive is priceless. Helping and supporting others feeds your soul in a way that nothing else can. A community gives you reasons to celebrate the small things in life and people to be thankful for. And we all know we can never have too much gratitude in our lives.
 
Our community of like-minded people is growing daily and the more it grows the more diverse it becomes and support is available. No matter if you’re an introvert or an extrovert, no matter if you share or simply observe, you will benefit from being there and we welcome you with open arms. 
 
Have a beautiful Sunday everyone and thank you💛
