A few weeks ago I heard someone share a personal manifesto. Sounded interesting, so I started on one of my own. Here are a few excerpts.

• Gratitude. I choose to live in gratitude. I believe gratitude begets a gracious life full of discovery and wellness.
• Truth. I believe truth in life is not always either/or, but sometimes is both/and. It’s like when the sun can shine and the clouds rain at the same time.
• Mystery. Mystery is inspiring; yet sometimes we strain to unravel it with a constant need to control, a need to know. Then poof! It disappears. Then we are left not knowing, not controlling and without even the hope of mystery. I want some mysteries to remain untouched.
• Doors. I like doors. I like the wonder of where they might lead.

How about you? What moves you? Inspires you? Causes you to pause and think? Feel free to respond in the comments section.
