Hi Friends,
Today, I said yes to something I honestly did not feel like attending.
It was a graduation celebration for the son of one of my husband’s closest friends. I am not particularly close to the parents, but my husband and the graduate’s father have been best friends for years.
I had plenty of reasons not to go. I had a long list of things to get done, and walking into a place where I barely know anyone can feel uncomfortable for an introvert like me.
But I went for the graduate.
It was wonderful to see how happy he was and to celebrate his acceptance into the college of his choice.
For me, self leadership means making choices that align with my values, even when those choices are not the easiest or most convenient.
Yes, it felt a little awkward at times. But I made the best of it. I spoke with the people who wanted to talk, stayed for the entire event, and focused on why I was there.
Did I finish everything on my to-do list? No.
But I showed up for someone during an important moment in his life. And sometimes, that means more than checking another task off the list.
Something to think about: When was the last time you chose to show up for someone, even when it was inconvenient?
Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!
Peace
Monita
