We are two weeks into the New Year. If I had to guess, some of our resolutions
have faded into hopelessness. This year
I decided to have no resolutions; instead, I decided to fill my year with intent. Soon after the first of the year I created a
short phrase that invites me into the moment while reminding me how I want to
respond to the world in 2016.
My phrase? Curious
Daring and Courage.
Curious daring requires that I not be defined by my
perceived limitations. I find ways to
embrace the challenges presented instead of giving up. In each moment, I continue to look for
possibilities. And, I celebrate in the
exploration…especially when I find more than dust bunnies in the corners of my
world!
With an open heart and an open mind, who knows what I will
discover when I am filled with curious daring and courage.
Curious daring, for me, is only possible when accompanied by
her twin, Courage. In those moments
where I only see impossibilities, I allow my friend Courage to wrap me in his
gentle embrace. Within the hug, he
reminds me that I’ve got this…I see the possibilities and the strength and
energy to follow them through.
In my toughest moments, I feel the palm of Courage on the
small of my back and my hand clasped firmly by that of Curious Daring. I discover that with curious daring and
courage, I do have this, and that…I can live in the challenges and life
lessons.
As we edge into the middle of January, how are you framing
2015? What is the phrase that energizes you and brings you into a new way of
being? What phrase holds your hand and
has your back as you leap forward with your heart?
With Curious Daring and Courage,
