I am looking at 'Responsible Courage'....the courage to take my next step confidently courageously and of course responsibly. Currently that 'sitting small' *cautiously is still with me...
Absolutely love this. I particularly resonated with "take the leap" loosing it's meaning for me. It's ben a mantra I've adopted for a long time and lived an amazing life through it, but I've arrived at a point where I now want to be more considerate to how my choices impact my future across all areas of my life. And to answer your final questions, I think all three mantras are resonating with me right now simultaneously. 😂
Beautiful piece. "Responsible confidence" resonates at this juncture in life - where I am too - dismantling thought patterns that keep me ebbing in and out of timidity and courage. Your words enter a conversation happening in my mind at this precise moment. "Grit is done" and "one yes at a time" also chimes in the conversation . I dance in wonder with the mystery of the universe. Thank-you! :)
What a great piece that captures the way mantras can guide us through tough spots. The one resonating with me now is "I am rebuilding." I have parted ways with almost all my friends because they are unwilling to discuss why we, as a community, wholeheartedly embraced the pandemic policies without question. I don't need them to agree that these measures were harmful and unnecessary, just an in-depth, honest discussion about their thinking and reasoning during that trying time. They have told me to "set boundaries" around this issue, something I refuse to do do because it will stifle the free flow of conversation.
I attended a presentation by a pastor who discussed the spiritual impact of the measures and he spoke about the need to rebuild community. In rebuilding, we won't be able to rely on the past and must start from scratch. Socially, I am starting from scratch so whenever my grief over losing so many friends gets to be too much, I tell myself, "I am rebuilding." It's working.
“Own things, don’t run things” resonates. We were traveling year after year while managing business from our locations via computer. Then the key staff members who had done the day-to-day work for 20 years walked out the door. Without the geese that laid the golden eggs, we were forced back into day-to-day running of the business, and limiting travels.

Love love love this.
In Marth Beck's The Way of Integrity, she encourages us to use a gerund and a noun to define our values. Here are mine:
Giving generously
Connecting Vulnerably
Loving and living Authentically
