We’ve been talking about being the heroine in your own life story. Dr. Jean Bolen, who wrote the “Goddesses in Every Woman” has a great chapter about being the heroine in your own life story. To start being the heroine on your own heroic journey, you’ve got to make sure that you take up space and that your choices matter.
“In the process of living from this premise, something happens: a woman becomes a choice-maker, a heroine who shapes who she will become. She either grows or is diminished by what she does or does not do and by the attitude she holds.”
It makes me think of confidence. Even though she doesn’t say it here, you know that you need to have confidence so that is necessary, too.
You also are thinking of yourself as the main character in your own life story. You are the person charging ahead and making decisions that will impact you in a way that takes care of the future you. And, in a way that honors you as an individual who matters.
When you’re at a crossroads, you have to stop, assess the situation, and choose your priorities. You make a deliberate choice in what direction to go.
“Plan your dive. Dive your plan. Debrief.”
Life is full of uncertainties. You never know what to expect and you can’t control what happens. But you CAN live on purpose, just as you do when you’re at a crossroad.
You can choose what direction to go.
We hope it’s to live on purpose and take action. We hope it’s to choose YOU.
