BE NORMAL?

If you are always trying to be normal, you’ll never know how amazing you can be.

Quote by Maya Angelou

REFLECTION:

  • Do you always try to be ‘normal?’
  • Do you go along to get along?
  • What would “amazing” look like for you? 
  • Is there something you can do today to free yourself – transform from a caterpillar to a butterfly?

ANOTHER CHANCE

“I know now, after fifty years, that the finding/losing, forgetting/remembering, leaving/returning, never stops.  The whole of life is about another chance, and while we are alive, till the very end, there is always another chance.”

PAUSE VS. POUNCE

THINKER ON A ROCK by Barry Flanagan Bronze 1997 at National Gallery of Art Washington DC

Do you Pounce or do you Pause?

Do you brace for impact?

Can you hold space for another?

Can you build a bridge?

 

Self reflection

REFLECTION:

  • How do you approach conflict?  Pounce or Pause?
  • Can you see value in a pause?
  • How can you build a bridge – creating space for another to feel heard?
