AND ALSO CONVENIENT…

If you want a breakthrough, or something at the top of the rankings, or a skill that few have, or the chance to build something you’re proud of… it doesn’t pay to also require that it be convenient.

FROM:  Seth Godin’s Daily Blog

REFLECTION:

  • Is there a breakthrough, something you want to accomplish that is going to require extra effort… inconvenience?
  • Knowing it won’t be ‘convenient’ how can you stick with this to see it through?
  • What adjustment in your mindset needs to happen to succeed?

ALLOWING OTHERS TO BE

The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image.  Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.

Quote by Thomas Merton

REFLECTION:

  • Do you allow others to be themselves?
  • Or do you want others to be like you?  Do you think you have the answers… know what is best for others and expect that of them?
  • How can you allow others to be who they are?

A BASIC QUESTION

AMOR by Robert Indiana 2006 National Gallery of Art Washington DC

“I think the most important question facing humanity is, ‘Is the universe a friendly place?’ This is the first and most basic question all people must answer for themselves.”

Quote by Albert Einstein

REFLECTION:

  • How do you see the world? 
  • Do you see it as a friendly place or as a disagreeable place?
  • The lens you see the world through shapes everything.  Examine your perspective.
