I squirreled them away to share with you all at some later date when the time felt right.</p> <p>That would be now.</p> <p>Given the turbulent and transformational times we are living in right now, these guideposts could not be more fitting, or timely. Like a beacon of light piercing through dense fog showing a way out of darkness, they feel even more like ballast to me now – the <strong>steadying reminders we need to navigate the bumpy waters of change.</strong></p> <p>Here’s what they say:</p> <blockquote><p>What we practice, we become. These six “grounding virtues” guide everything we do:</p> <p><strong>1. Patience:</strong> A spiritual view of time is a long view of time — seasonal and cyclical, resistant to the illusion of time as a bully, time as a matter of deadlines. Human transformation takes time — longer than we want it to — but it is what is necessary for social transformation.</p> <p><strong>2. Words That Matter:</strong> The words we use shape how we understand ourselves, how we interpret the world, how we treat others.</p> <p><strong>3. Adventurous Civility:</strong> Civility, in our world of change, is about creating new possibilities for living forward while being different and even continuing to hold profound disagreement.</p> <p><strong>4. Humility:</strong> Spiritual humility is not about getting small. It is about encouraging others to be big. It is not about debasing oneself, but about approaching everything and everyone with a readiness to be surprised and delighted.</p> <p><strong>5. Generous Listening:</strong> Real listening is powered by curiosity. It involves vulnerability — a willingness to be surprised, to let go of assumptions and take in ambiguity.</p> <p><strong>6. Hospitality:</strong> Hospitality is the creation of an inviting, trustworthy space — an atmosphere as much as a place. It shapes the experience to follow. It creates the intention, the spirit, and the boundaries for what is possible.</p></blockquote> <p>I especially like #1: “Human transformation takes time — longer than we want it to — but it is what is necessary for social transformation.”</p> <p><strong>If you could use a little assistance in cultivating these virtues</strong>…</p> <p>taking the long view, changing your perceptions, opening to new possibilities, embracing detachment, inviting surprise and wonder, growing your listening (and seeing) skills, creating spacious boundaries…</p> <p>… <em>and</em> if you are willing to give yourself a year to do so…</p> <p>I might recommend my most recent <strong>book, </strong><em><strong><a href="https://www.spaceclear.com/a-year-for-you/">A Year for You</a></strong>, </em>and/or my <a href="https://www.dailyom.com/cgi-bin/courses/courseoverview.cgi?cid=903&aff=&co="><strong>online course at DailyOM</strong></a> on which the book is based.
