Wow. This is so powerful and so true. What a great practice to take up as we start the new year!
Hereâs to a braver 2017...
At the close of every year I ask myself four questions:
1. What do I want more of in my life?
2. How do I let go of whatâs no longer serving me?
3. What will make me feel more alive? Braver?
4. At the end of every day and at the end of every year, I need to know that I contributed more than I criticized. How have I contributed and what will that look like moving forward?
Despite the divisiveness and hateful rhetoric (and actions) that have marked the past two months, I still believe that we are more the same than we are different. As I reflect on my answers to these questions, I have to believe that many of you share these yearnings:
⢠I want more joy, more connection, more courage and more love.
⢠Fear, judgment, and exhaustion are no longer serving me.
⢠Nothing makes me feel more alive than joy. Iâve struggled with this because I havenât been practicing gratitude as much as I would like to, and I know that gratitude is the foundation of joy.
⢠I think I contributed by speaking my truth while trying to be respectful, and I was brave even when it meant taking hits from critics and cynics.
As we head into the new year, I made a big decision at COURAGEworks to start with a new parenting collection that focuses on how we raise courageous children and build messy, beautiful, wholehearted families.
I hope youâll join me as we enter into a braver 2017, where together, we will transform the way we raise our children and make the world a braver place.
