My Always Morphing Life Stance.  What’s Yours?

My Always Morphing Life Stance. What’s Yours?

Ok, so it’s late, and I am grudgingly determined to get this of my chest. As of late, I’ve been attempting to articulate my position on life. My personal Manifesto, or life stance, so to speak. And I’ll be honest, I peeked at Wikipedia, just to make sure I was using the terminology correctly. According to Wikipedia, a manifesto is a public declaration of principles and intentions, often a political statement, but can also pertain to a general life stance. I then checked to see what they had to say about a Life Stance. Simply put(I love Wikepedia),

A Life stance refers to a person’s relation with what he or she accepts as of ultimate importance, the presuppositions and theory of this, and the commitments and practice of working it out in living.

For those that care, and I’m sure I’ll expound on this some more, this is a rough ‘Manifesto” that gives voice to what I have been feeling.

Maybe you can relate?

I welcome the challenge of exploring the Truth in all aspects of my life, and the world around me. I will continue to ask the big questions, and push the frontier of what I really know? I value deliberate self education, and critical thinking. Most importantly, I am willing to wrestle with the deepest questions of human existence, instead of avoiding them.

I am unafraid to explore, openly share, discuss, and experience for myself, new understandings of my spiritual experience. I value the intense, personal quest for truth, despite the trappings of religion.

Finally, I choose to tangibly and radically change the world through strategic and creative acts of Faith, Hope, and Love.

Ok…I’m out…:-)
