Far from a complete list, sometimes it takes courage to:
- appreciate ALL your emotions
- express ALL your emotions
- admit when you're hurt
- accept being wrong
- step out of your "comfort zones"
- not feel obligated to "fit in"
- admit your mistakes and forgive yourself
- appreciate your scars
- accept others in spite of their flaws
- forgive others for their mistakes (big & small)
- accept that we ALL make mistakes (small & big)
- be empathetic, to "walk in others' shoes"
- recognize that there's usually a reason "why"
- express gratitude for little things
- be kind to the kind and the unkind
- be generous of heart & soul...to your core
- find the good in others (even if not obvious)
- risk ridicule while standing up for a cause
- try, in the face of fear
- try again, in the face of failure
- be vulnerable
- come out from behind "the wall"
- wear your heart on your sleeve
- ask for a hug when you need one
- offer hugs to others
- look into others' eyes
- look into your children's eyes
- love wholeheartedly
- think funny thoughts
- be silly in the presence of others
- dance alone in a crowd
- live beyond tasks
- not live for a long obituary
- reflect, ponder, and explore your thoughts
- be curious
- grow a teeny tiny bit each day
- explore the "whole" you
- accept the "whole" you
- love the "whole" you
- share the "whole" you
- live with gratitude in your heart
- be present, without judgement
- hold space for others
I wish you a "whole" lot of courage on your life's journey.
Love always,
Dad
