Wishing You PEACE, FAITH and HOPE

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.
