Do you remember the age only saying; practice makes perfect? How about we consider the ideology that everything in life is a practice instead? You want more connection in your life. Practice keeping yourself open to connect authentically. You want to be a stronger communicator? Well there are strategies that we need to practice in order to enhance these skills. And, most definitely, if you want a greater sense of resiliency, let's practice it!
In a world and life full of unknowns and impermanence, I go to what I do know to be true – Don Miguel Ruiz’s The Four Agreements:
Be Impeccable With Your Word
Don’t Take Anything Personally
Don’t Make Assumptions
Always Do Your Best
And, the last spoken words my late-husband Mat shared with me………
Always Be Kind.
There isn’t much that needs to be explained or rationalized here. Connection to Self, Source, and Community are required for true resiliency. I put this to practice each and every day, and I bring these values and tools to all that I do.
