It’s Only Life, After All

A message from Sandy. BEING A HERO…………what does that mean?
Here are some thoughts:
- To do what’s right …even if you are afraid.
- To listen to your inner wisdom…… and not the random opinions of others.
- To be kind…….that means remembering the person you may need to be the kindest to —is yourself.
- To live by choice….not chance.
- To pursue excellence….meaning excel, but not compete.
- Keep you word and your commitments.
- To make corrections and changes….not excuses.
- To be fair and treat all people with respect, trying to understand their point of view…..even if you don’t agree with it.
Most of all being a hero means accepting yourself with a depth of kindness, even when you behave badly. All bad behavior comes from……….mmmmm……..I say blame our gremlins! With this can come judgement for others and ourselves, let’s try substituting curiosity instead.
When we can accept our imperfections (and others)—and are still willing to brush ourselves off and start over again—then we can begin to make changes. You are then on a heroic journey of the heart. This could be the best kind of hero, the kind we should strive to be. How is your journey shaping up?
