Navigate with Integrity







Nobody can discover the world
for somebody else.
Only when we discover it for ourselves
does it become common ground
and a common bond
and we cease to be alone.

Wendell Berry
A PLACE ON EARTH



Authenticity is a discovery of our unique gifts and talents.  Too many times, we take for granted our own strengths as though they were common to every one else.  Just as our finger prints or DNA are exclusively our own, so are our life purposes.

We must explore the world, both inner and outer, to know what we hold dear as truths or values.  Our belief systems are tested over time, fine tuning how we perceive the world.  Eventually we emerge through learned behaviors presenting in our truest form.

Embracing both our strengths and weaknesses, we are able to navigate through life with integrity.  We have a polished sense of who we really are and what is our heart's desire.

When we are comfortable with our own selves, we are readily available to embrace the diversity of others without feeling threatened or competitive.  We find that we can join our efforts together creating a world of appreciation and gratitude.
