How this world needs you – young men and
women with the guts to pause and
acknowledge where you’re at and how you got here – and then to change course if
you need to – and trust me, sometimes you’ll need to change course!
* the guts/have the guts: to be brave;
be courageous
= the
fortitude; the nerve; the backbone
ex> Do you have the guts to
ask your boss for a raise?
So today, as you head out into the Open Field of life, keep your mind open, keep
your heart open.
* head out: to move on to something new;
leave a place
ex> If you've got everything you
need, then let’s head out.
Have the courage to go beyond shoulda-coulda-woulda – go beyond other’s
rules and expectations.
* shoulda-coulda-woulda: an expression
of regret
ex> Shoulda-coulda-woulda won’t
get you anywhere; you need to move on.
ex> Julie was unsure of her decisions
and always went through the shoulda-coulda-woulda.
Don’t get so caught up along the way in
what you’re doing and where you’re going that you lose sight of your core values: who you are and what’s important in
your life.
* lose sight of: to forget what is
important or what one’s goal is
ex> Whatever you do, don’t lose
sight of where you came from.
Look at your options – check your
intentions – and THEN? Take the high
road.
* take the high road: to choose the
option that is most ethical or moral
ex> Even if he insulted you, take
the high road and just ignore him.
