A few days ago, I wrote about Hardening of the Hearteries, a recently diagnosed disease that’s impacting all of us. I also invited you to get clear on your own heartfelt values.
Personally, it was an interesting exercise to identify what really mattered to me. More importantly, it gave me a code to live by.
I thought it would be helpful if I shared the pledge that I wrote for myself. Here it is:
- I choose to think, live, and act in the spirit of possibility.
- I will bring my initiative, common sense, and decency to my family, community, country and the world.
- I will work with others to find new ways to solve the challenges we face and the future we want to create.
- I commit to making a difference in thought, word, and deed in some way—every day.
- I’ll do this with laughter, dedication, integrity, and love—because it’s the right thing to do.
