Your Right To Be: A Manifesto
One way I approach boundaries is through the lens of a manifesto, a set of intentions to live and be guided by.
This is my first time sharing Your Right to Be’s manifesto (which is a living document and ever evolving).
These commitments have been crucial for me building a life and business that’s both nourishing and deeply successful/purposeful.
The Your Right to Be: Sacred Success Manifesto
1. We believe that true success comes from becoming more of who we truly are, not less.
2. We reject the notion that burnout, struggle, and self-abandonment are necessary for high impact change-making achievement.
3. We embrace our sensitivity as a resource, not a weakness to be overcome.
4. We honour the wisdom of our bodies and trust our embodied intuition.
5. We recognise that rest is not a reward for productivity, but a vital part of the creative process.
6. We choose to measure our success by how alive we feel, not just by what we accomplish.
7. We commit to breaking free from cultural conditioning that tells us we're not enough as we are.
8. We celebrate the power of softness, gentleness, and receptivity in leadership and culture-making.
9. We seek to create impact from a place of alignment, ease, and joy - through the expression of our essence.
10. We understand that our personal well-being is interconnected with the well-being of our communities and the planet, we are not separate from the wider ecosystems of life.
11. We value cyclical growth over linear progress, honouring the natural rhythms of planetary and biological wisdom, of expansion and contraction.
12. We cultivate environments that allow us to unfurl naturally, like plants given the right conditions into our fullest creative expression.
13. We embrace the complexity of our full selves, refusing to compartmentalise or deny any part of our experience. We will not operate from an adversarial relationship with ourselves.
14. We commit to practices that keep us connected to the preciousness of this moment, resisting the constant pull towards an imagined future self.
15. We choose collaboration over competition, recognising that true power lies in our connectedness.
16. We trust that by nourishing our joy and leveraging our natural talents, we create sustainable, meaningful change in the world.
17. We give ourselves permission to redefine success on our own terms, outside of patriarchal, capitalist norms.
18. We give grace to our shortcomings, knowing we will fall short these high ideals many times over.
