A Lesson from Jabari the Elephant

Jabari, a ten-foot-tall, six-ton bull elephant, is standing very still, guarding his family herd. It's the night of an important event—the birth of a calf into the small family herd. Jabari has been waiting for two years, as he is the baby's father. 

As you see, Jabari is a testament to the strength and love in the animal kingdom. He is standing guard, protecting the new life brought into his family. His strength and courage are an inspiration to us all.

And that's why we can all learn a lesson from Jabari. Let's stand guard and protect the things that matter most to us, whether our families, communities, or planet. 

For example:

- We can safeguard our families by creating a safe and secure home environment, monitoring our children's online activities, and teaching them how to stay safe in various situations. We can also support our family members during challenging times, show them love and affection, and prioritize spending quality time with them. 

- We can protect our community and planet by adopting eco-friendly habits, such as recycling, reducing our carbon footprint, and conserving resources. We can also support environmental initiatives, such as planting trees, cleaning litter, and advocating for sustainable policies—and educating others about the importance of protecting our planet and inspiring them to take action.

Standing guard and protecting what matters most is essential.

First, it helps ensure the safety and well-being of ourselves and those we care about. When we are vigilant and proactive in protecting what is important to us, we can prevent harm, minimize risk, and promote security.

Furthermore, doing so is essential for preserving our values and way of life. Our families, communities, and planet are all interconnected and interdependent, contributing to our quality of life. By safeguarding them, we ensure that they continue to thrive and grow and that we can enjoy their benefits for years. We are laying the foundation for a world where everyone can flourish and where we can all live in peace and harmony. 

It is a duty that we all share and one that we should take seriously. So, just like Jabari, let's show strength, courage, and love as we work to protect the things that matter most to us.
