In this holiday season, I wish you PEACE in your day-to-day, and FAITH and HOPE for a brighter tomorrow.
Over fifteen years ago, a ten-year-old girl told me that she always listened when I spoke because what I said was “always nice and always smart”. I can’t claim my words are always nice or always smart, but her comment made me want to do better.
From my mindfulness and meditation practices, I’m learning the value of THINK-ing:
T - Truth - Are the words true?
H - Helpful - Will the words be helpful or productive?
I - Inspiring - Will the words bring inspiring and uplifting energy?
N - Necessary - Are the words necessary?
K - Kind - Are the words kind?
It has helped me to similarly frame and optimize my thoughts, words and actions.
P - Planful - Are the thoughts, words and actions in alignment with my goal, intention, or purpose?
E - Energizing - Will the thoughts, words and actions provide energy, positivity or support for others?
A - Aspiring - Will the thoughts, words and actions help others aspire to be more, do more, or deliver more?
C - Collaborative - Will the thoughts, words and actions lead to more collaboration or connection?
E - Empowering - Will the thoughts, words and actions empower more people and groups toward a common or meaningful cause?
I hope that this blog helps you THINK, SPEAK and ACT with PEACE-ful alignment with your purpose and intentions.
