Putting this quality into practice
Original Lantern Project guidance inspired by this topic. This section is not copied from the source book.
Casey wants to practice trustworthy during a conversation that needs patience and care. Rather than waiting to feel completely ready, Casey chooses one concrete action: choose a small commitment and fulfill it fully and on time.. The situation does not change all at once, but the response becomes more intentional. In that small choice, trustworthy becomes something Casey can practice again instead of only an idea to admire.
“I can practice trustworthy through small, intentional choices. I do not need perfect conditions or perfect results to begin.”
Where could one small act of trustworthy help me respond more intentionally today?
