This morning I shared from a book I’ve been reading off and on for a few years now, Resilience by Eric Greitens
The author is a former Seal and the book is a collection of letters between him and one of his comrades dealing with PTSD.
Letter 4 is titled “Beginnings” and my primary focus is on the mantra shared near the end but we’ll preface it with a bit of context.
… Beginnings bring fear … You feel it now. That’s good. It tells you that you’re on the cusp of something worthwhile. If you continue to live a good life, you’ll feel this fear time and time again.
But the longer you hesitate, the hairier and scarier the fear becomes. The longer you hesitate, the more likely you are to turn around and crawl back under the covers.
Screw that, Walker. It’s time to begin.
I’ve been afraid of beginning many, many times. I certainly haven’t mastered that fear, but I’ll offer you a few thoughts about beginning that I’ve found helpful. First, when you begin, begin with humility. Start with the humility to recognize how little you know.
Resilience: Letter 4, part A
And the next segment is a mantra I keep close to heart and repeat often for my own purposes. Sometimes once a day, sometimes twice.
I begin with humility, I act with humility, I end with humility.
Humility leads to clarity.
Humility leads to an open mind and a forgiving heart.
With an open mind and a forgiving heart, I see every person as superior to me in some way; with every person as my teacher I grow in wisdom.
As I grow in wisdom, humility becomes ever more my guide.
I begin with humility, I act with humility, I end with humility.
Resilience: Letter 4, Humility Mantra
And as a reminder to all of us striving for acceleration.
… Humility is the virtue from which true, well-rounded, meaningful excellence begins.
Resilience: Letter 4
