I had to rewrite these a few times before they felt mine, but here's where I am today.
Know
I want to know that my character is defined by how I live, not by how others interpret my actions. Misunderstanding does not change who I am.
Do
Respond to feelings, not accusations.
Be
I want to be a man who knows who he is and doesn’t feel the need to defend or justify it.
Understand
I want to understand the emotional trigger behind accusations so I can respond to the feeling instead of reacting to the words.
I'm curious where I will be a year from now and put a block on my schedule a year from now. I'll probably forget about it, but I hope when it pops up, I'll be able to see how I've evolved and I wonder where my intentions will take me.
