I Will

God, I am in awe of this decision-making ability that you have given me.
I will use this incredible gift you have provided in ways that will impact others.
I will steward this talent in ways that will not just make you proud but also make me proud.
I will use this skill to help positively change the world, one small step at a time.
 
I will use what I know about a vastly changing technological landscape to inject creative change that benefits many.
I will use today’s challenges as opportunities to bridge communities in inviting, interactive, and welcoming ways.
I will be generous in proposing innovative solutions and crafty alternatives to create effective process changes.
I will teach in the moment, using proficiencies learned through trial and error to create effortless transitions.
 
I will use personal invitations to create new connections with some and renew existing relationships with others.
I will present my offers with appreciation, gratitude, and thankfulness for the existing foundation to build upon.
I will be kind in my approach to avoid unintentionally offending or diminishing the efforts of those who came before me.
I will accommodate diverse learning styles and offer a variety of options that many can understand.
 
I will be relentless in my initial pursuit, offering examples and showcasing advanced technologies.
I will be adept at responding to questions, offering quick, insightful answers that exhibit unwavering confidence.
I will refuse to be crestfallen or take things personally if a particular proposition is rejected or simply ignored.
I will be sensible enough to pause, reevaluate, reorient, divert, or cease approach and offer support.
 
I will acknowledge potential hesitancies by providing detailed resources and allowing adequate time to process.
I will appreciate each situation’s particularities, discern its uniqueness, and create viable choice variations.
I will be sensible enough not to listen to my self-righteous foolishness in believing that my way is the only way.
I will rely on faith, experience, and intuition to help determine when to push forward and when to pull back.
 
I will use this skill to help positively change the world, one small step at a time.
I will steward this talent in ways that will not just make you proud but also make me proud.
I will use this incredible gift you have provided in ways that will impact others.
God, I am in awe of this decision-making ability that you have given me.

Recognizing your gifts and using them to better the world.
