We are here now.
We let past aggravations
stay in the past.
We are willing to lead.
We are not passively waiting
for things to change.
We are willing to listen.
We challenge the ways
we are self-centered.
We recognize our own value.
We will not allow ourselves
to be torn down,
not even by our inner critic.
We strive for true connection.
We refuse to bond at the expense
of others.
We have gratitude for what is.
We do not dwell on what isn’t.
We are willing to live in reality.
We have decided not
to live in a fantasy world
of perfection.
We are taking responsibility for our lives.
We refuse to blame others.
We are willing to have hard conversations.
We refuse to hide when we’re upset.
We choose a new way of being in the world.
We challenge the culture of negativity.
We recognize and respect the impact we have on others.
We refuse to spew negativity
at those around us.
We have decided to be agents of change in our own lives.
We are not observers
passing commentary
on the events of our lives
without taking action.
We are stepping into vulnerability and opening our hearts.
We have decided to stop hiding
how we’ve been hurt
and building walls
to protect ourselves.
Going NoCo takes courage.
Going NoCo means we are ready to be fully alive.
