This week we considered the intentional principles and practices of: Walk a Mile in Your Own Shoes; Be to Have, Not Have to Be; The Practice of Attuning; The Practice of Affirming; The Practice of Aligning; and The Practice of Applying. Each of these are designed to help us live from the inside out, guided by our own determined values, principles, and ideals and the integrity and authenticity of what is universally true, right, and good for ourselves and each other, for one and all. Today we take to review, reflect, and re-vision. We do this by returning to the insight and inspiration of the first principle and practice for an Intentional 2021: “Let's begin an Intentional 2021 by taking some time to walk a mile in our own shoes. Who am I? What are my roles in life, and what rights and responsibilities do these roles require of me? What do I value? What are my guiding and grounding life principles, and what are my aspirational life ideals? What are my gifts, skills, and talents, and how can I better bless others by sharing these? Is this the world I want to pass on to my children, the next generation, and what needs improving, and what's mine to do?” Having revisited our first principle and practice we now add the consideration: How did I do this week? What new values, principles, and ideals are emerging for me? What old ideas about myself and my life are ready to be released? What progress did I achieve, and where is better progress required? And then of course the ‘Big Why’ of why am I doing this? A reminder again today that your decision and determination to live with greater intentional integrity and authenticity in 2021 is a blessing to us all. Your consciousness is a contribution to the collective consciousness of humanity and a contribution to the collective and common good of all. When you take time to affirm what true, right, good in you and your life, you bless the family of humanity with the consciousness, condition, and circumstance of that same truth, right, and good, a true treasure and blessing for one and all. Take time to be relaxed, quiet, calm, and sit in contemplation and reflection of this insight and inspiration. Be open-hearted to the revealing of your own knowing and understanding. Connect, communicate, and collaborate with any insight and inspiration that comes to you. Be open to the intention of integrating your expanding awareness of what’s true, right, and good into yourself, your life, and our world.
