The "Ten Seeds of Hope": My Ten Mindful Choices.
My "Ten Seeds of Hope" help determine my direction
Here are my "Ten Seeds of Hope," a list of beliefs about living with intention. Writing them down helps clarify the goals I strive for, which embrace peace, love, understanding, nonviolence, openness, and tolerance. This list is evolving and not in any particular order.
"Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction."
John F. Kennedy
Following are my "Ten Seeds of Hope." What are yours?
Intentions in the world we live in
#1 Wake up. Hug your rescue dog or cat.
I adore my rescue pets, who were adopted from a shelter nearby. Millions of loving animals are waiting for homes, and I encourage you to adopt one. You save a life while gaining devoted, UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.
#2 Explore new places.
Let's explore the world! Learn about diverse cultures, meet new people, and try different food. Be open-minded and receptive to new ideas regarding religion and family, and embrace a BROADER PERSPECTIVE.
#3 Walk in the grass barefoot.
Walking in the grass barefoot.connects me with nature. I appreciate nature's rhythms and beauty. Let this beauty remind me to reduce my environmental impact, continue to be a vegetarian, and make CONSCIOUS CHOICES.
#4 Il dolce far niente.
An Italian philosophy is "The sweetness of doing nothing." My favorite example of Il dolce far niente is people watching when we travel. I'm working on mindful eating, digital detox, and SLOW LIVING.
Living mindfully with community
#5 Live your truth- it's an expression of belief.
People can be religious, spiritual, or neither. Live your truth. I continue to explore broader belief systems, respecting the EXPRESSION OF BELIEF.
#6 "Do your thing, and I shall know you." — Ralph Waldo Emerson
Labels are unnecessary. I value authenticity and people showing me their generosity, kindness, and understanding nature through actions. I like to see people's TRUE SELVES SHINE.
#7 "In diversity, there is beauty and strength." — Maya Angelo
I grew up in the Unitarian Church, learning that everyone is equal. The irony of all the open-minded thinking is that I'm pretty naive about other people's viewpoints. If I live by the truth that "in diversity, there is beauty," my actions might open someone's eyes to A NEW VISION.
#8 Make the world a better place.
People can make a difference in others' lives through volunteering or activism. Communities working together make change happen. However, the most power lies in being a role model within the community and LEADING BY EXAMPLE.
#9 Dance to your favorite music in your kitchen.
Dance and fine art are creative expressions and even a release for me. I want to help others find their creative passions in life. Whether it's baking or aerial artistry, I'd like to write about CREATIVE EXPRESSION.
#10 Exercise your rights while actively listening to others.
We don't need permission to think differently or to take action. The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution says we can talk about what we believe and get together with others. We can even change our minds and make a "You-turn." Most importantly, we exercise our rights while BEING RESPECTFUL OF OTHERS.
