2 LEANING INTO AND LOVING THE JOURNEY
In choosing a values and virtues driven, character enhancing
way of being - it becomes less about the destination and so
much more about leaning into my HEROIC journey. An
adventure with quests, challenges, courage, antifragile
confidence and response-ability.
Life isn't neat - well mine isn't! It is gloriously messy, squiggly,
throws curveballs and can be a bit of a rollercoaster. I learned
to embrace the twists and turns and navigate whatever
comes - it is what it is - and I make the most of it!
To thrive you need more than GRIT or resilience. You need
ENERGY to flourish or thrive. Notice, I do not say survive - the
bottom of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is not aspirational - it
is part of the journey but certainly not the end game.
We can all live our own adventurous Heroes Journey. HEROIC
is about cultvating the warrior mindset for that journey, how
you prepare; and how you deal with and learn from the
inevitable challenges that come your way. Always in owner
not victim mode.
I learned through experience that the more you have to deal
with - the stronger you get. Rather than avoiding those
challenges - I trust my HERO and step right in!
Because OMMS are fuel for growth
... OBSTACLES MAKE ME STRONGER!
