My best self

I wish for all of us more calm, peace, and kindness toward others and ourselves. This includes having goodwill toward people from every walk of life; those with different backgrounds, beliefs, mindsets, and lifestyles.

If you’re thinking this is a lofty wish, it is. Maybe it’s not likely to ever fully happen, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try. Every grand achievement was once considered unlikely, even impossible. I’m of the mind to say to heck with it and take action to make my wish a reality.

To fulfill this wish, I’ll begin with a daily practice of asking myself, “Am I being my best with my family and friends today? Am I thinking the best of them and giving my best in return?”

I’ll have to be honest with myself each day because if I realize I’ve fallen short, whether in thought or deed, I’ll want to correct it, apologize, or make amends immediately so I can say I honored my wish for that day.

Day by day, my practice can expand beyond friends and family to people I may or may not know, but who are all worthy of the best version of me.

Youtropolis is the perfect place to practice making my wish come true. I can assist my tribe and alliances with their needs and hopes, and lend support with obstacles they may be facing. I can think of no better place I’d rather be, helping others and feeling good about what I’ve contributed by the end of the day.

Let’s face it, we’re all in this together. I believe when we offer our best selves, trust in our power to manifest good, and put that good to work with everyone we encounter, this wish will be fulfilled on a grand scale.
