Tribute and its Tenets
HERE
- The courage to heal, grow and serve begins with being honest with myself about who I am and who I choose to become.
- The wellbeing of myself and others depends on my ability to be honest without attack or condemnation.
- Honesty asks that I speak the truth with compassion and self-responsibility.
- I am free to choose my inner attitude regarding any given life circumstance; I can always choose again.
- Once I choose again, I must do the inner work necessary to make that choice a reality.
- I can only choose beliefs and attitudes for myself; I cannot choose them for another.
- When I do not allow others to make their own choices or to take responsibility for themselves, I impose my will; by imposing my will, I disempower others, depriving them of the freedom of choice and the opportunity to discover their own uniqueness and their own inner strength.
- I am responsible for the meaning and purpose I bring to my life and for choosing to learn and serve.
