How can we harness our constructive power?

How can we harness our constructive power? It starts with integrating the skills and qualities of grace into our approaches, our behaviors, the quality of our connection with each other, and our overall demeanor...

In a recent post I shared that in her book The Fourth Instinct, Arianna Huffington wrote that “…for the first time something as vast and epic as the destiny of mankind depends on something as personal and intimate as the way each one of us chooses to live, think, and behave.”

What will my impact be today? What will your impact be today?

What becomes possible when you and I live, think, and behave by leaning into the constructive power of grace? For instance: What becomes possible when you or I are triggered by something troubling someone says or does, but we’ve learned how to elevate our internal emotional state before we deal with what happened?

Each of us has the potential to change what isn’t working in our lives through constructive efforts: one difficult conversation handled well, one message of encouragement for someone we care about, one apology for something we overlooked, one kindness towards someone we see struggling, one compassionate boundary we set when something inequitable has taken place… one – simply one, at a time.

Remember:
Consistent efforts to harness our constructive power increases our self-awareness, clarity, and insight, helps us find constructive, innovative solutions, and leads us to one of the most valuable things in life – peace of mind.
