Draft Your Operating Instructions

We’re living in a time when our culture and our media offer emphatic representations of what success, happiness and fulfillment are supposed to be.

Thankfully, we still have free will and the right to choose who we want to be and how we want to do life.

My personal aim?

I’m striving to continually lean into the wisdom to always be true to yourself, no matter what.

This requires me to consistently carve out time to be still and quiet, so I can listen to and better know myself at every turn. When I hear from within, I am reminded of the values I want to inform my choices and the values that best align with my life’s purpose and goals.

Even with such focus, however, it’s important to remember that none of us is perfect. I – we – must be intent on moving with humility and generosity. We can’t dismiss, discard, disrespect or devalue others, for they are on uniquely divine journeys, too. In the circle of life’s reciprocity, what we render is also what we receive.

Consider joining me on this journey to honoring our truest and highest selves – the parts of us that operate with both heart and integrity. In doing so, I believe we’ll find the truest paths to success, inner joy (which supersedes happiness) and fulfillment.
