} Action

so about 1.5 weeks ago, I Took Action. Granted, it was prompted by something painful but also relatively frivolous... but as I have talked to others about it, it was really a long time coming. I think I am still mostly pretty lost at the moment. But I am hoping it is just a necessary part of the process. Most of all I think that I just wanted to give myself a chance to be happy.

Just gonna pop in my last "mission statement" right here, cos I do like this. I'm impressed with myself for getting this out!

Stubborn and determined – persist, if the cause is right

Kind and generous – be sensitive to exigencies of life; no one owes anyone anything

Open-minded and accepting – be ready to examine if the cause is right

Always make time to listen – human connection and understanding above all else

Firm, but fair – have standards, but not double standards; speak for others when necessary

Push people up, not bring them down – do not drown in negative thoughts; utilise them, and do not give in to emotions. Help others succeed.

Calm, a swan under pressure – be the one to rally (yourself and others), not drown. Keep a sense of humour.

Resourceful – find the third way

Helpful, giving – be brave and generous while still honest
