Personal Manifesto – A Map for Our Own Resurrection
Thought creates.
That’s why organizations and savvy businesses have mission statements. That’s why shame researcher, author, speaker and professor Brené Brown developed a “Home Manifesto” for her family that includes the dictum of no name-calling, which includes never calling oneself names. When someone surveyed her daughter’s project in progress and remarked that she was “messy,” her daughter immediately offered correction: “No, I’m not messy; I’m making a mess.”
We all will benefit from developing a “Personal Manifesto” that names and claims our ideals and aspirations for how we treat ourselves and operate in the world. This Personal Manifesto is a brief, clear statement of values and actions, like a mission statement. It is a map for our own resurrection that clarifies and reminds us of our direction.
Here’s a Personal Manifesto I wrote for myself:
I AM a Child of God. I see and treat myself as inherently innocent, loving and of infinite value. I have made mistakes and I may make mistakes, but I AM NEVER a mistake.
I work to heal physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually to bring me to an ever-finer expression in body and mind of God’s Creative Intention of Oneness. Mmmmm!
I seek direction from Source in all matters. There is no area of life where God’s Loving Direction is not needed.
I make time for quiet and allow the still, small Voice for Love to speak to me.
I extend Love and Forgiveness to all.
THE NEW YEAR: TIME TO MASTER THE PRACTICE OF FORGIVENESS
FORGIVENESS: THE POST OFFICE DELIVERS
I practice proper priorities in my life.
THE TERRESTRIAL TRINITY OF PROPER PRIORITIES
- God
- Self
- Others
I shield myself from harm through healthy boundaries when necessary, while cultivating an ever-deeper understanding that what I AM cannot be harmed.
BOUNDARIES: A THREE-PHASE PROCESS IN SPIRITUAL HEALING
I respect, love, care for and maintain my body temple as a precious tool of God’s Will on earth.
I AM also joy, pleasure and play.
I express my desires, takes steps to satisfy them, listen and adjust. I thus allow my desires to lead me to God’s Will for my life.
I live in gratitude for all I have been given, and so I give.
What is your Personal Manifesto?
With Peace and Love,
