THREE LIVES!

Everyone has three lives: the public, the private and the secret.

Quote by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

REFLECTION:

  • Human lives are complex and multifaceted. 
  • Our public persona, the one we show to the external world, includes the roles we play in society.  Do you like that persona?
  • Our private life encompasses the relationships we have with family, close friends and loved ones. With these individuals, we may be vulnerable – share our true selves – express emotions, thoughts, feelings that are not always visible to the public.  Do you like that persona?
  • Our secret life includes hidden thoughts, desires and actions that we keep from others – even those closest. Do you like that persona?
  • Examine who you BE.

STRONGER

The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places.

Quote by Ernest Hemingway

REFLECTION:

  • Where have you been broken and are now stronger?

GOOD LIFE… BAD LIFE

The difference between the good life and the bad life is how well you walk through the fire.

Quote by Carl Jung

REFLECTION:

  • What ‘fires’ have you walked through?
  • What fires do you need to walk through to get a “good” life?
