I’m not huge on affirmations. Lean more towards stoicism than positivity spiritually manifesting success. On a daily basis, though, I try to mentally hold on to a few concise phrases for motivation and emotional guardrails. Shorter is better, and singular words are often best.
Today, I became enamored of the verb hone, defined in Wiktionary as:
Verb
hone (third-person singular simple present hones, present participle honing, simple past and past participle honed)
- (transitive) To sharpen with a hone; to whet.
- (transitive) To use a hone to produce a precision bore.
- (transitive) To refine (a skill especially) by learning.
- To make more acute, intense, or effective.
The last two meanings resonate. Moment to moment, I’m working to refine myself into a more acute, intense, and effective instrument. Added to the kit.
