| These turbulent times often present us with people and situations that challenge our key beliefs and principles. Sometimes you have to put your foot down. I try to remain true to my beliefs at all times--and sometimes this requires steadfastness. Steadfastness encourages us to remain faithful and committed to our beliefs, even when faced with adversity or challenges. It reminds us to persevere in our efforts to live a life that reflects our values and beliefs.
I take heart in Marcus Aurelius' words when he said: Be like the cliff against which the waves continually break; but it stands firm and tames the fury of the water around it. The steadfast leader is dependable, reliable, constant, and unwavering. S/he stays the course, follows through, develops good habits and keeps them.
We all make mistakes, and I sometimes get distracted by a shiny thing or a squirrel, but it's vital to re-centre and focus on the things that really matter. |
