We all have a to-DO list.

But if we’re human BEINGS and not human DOINGS, why not also have a TO-BE list?

I created one a few months back.

It’s a daily reminder of how I choose to show up in the world; who I want to BE.

Instead of focusing on tasks, my TO-BE list focuses on attributes.

As you might know, I went through a very difficult and unexpected business crisis over the last eight weeks. There were a lot of things outside my control, but the only thing I could control 100% was how I chose to BE.

My TO-BE list was super helpful during this difficult stretch. I’d read it every morning and it gave me the strength and conviction to navigate a painful situation.

In case you’re curious, here’s my list:

• Kind
• Compassionate
• Curious
• Strong
• Protector
• Artist
• Teacher
• Student
• Open
• Confident
• Centered
• Present
• In-flow

Part of Finding a Way is deciding on (and committing to) who we want to be.

What would be on your TO-BE list?

To your creative success…
