WAITING FOR YOU

Do not be dismayed by the brokenness of the world.  All things break.  And all things can be mended.  Not with time, as they say, but with intention.  So go.  Love intentionally, extravagantly, unconditionally.  The broken world waits in darkness for the light that is you.

REFLECTION:

  • Are you dismayed by all the “brokenness” of the world?
  • How can you let your love and light shine today?
  • How can you love more intentionally?  More unconditionally this day?

BREAKING THE CYCLE

Breaking the generational cycles is hard.  Really, really hard.  But it can be done.  It starts with a still small voice whispering that there is another way… a better way.  That you have the power to choose your own path.  And then you choose.  And then it gets harder. Sometimes a LOT harder.  But, you persist.  And then something magical happens.  It gets better because of you.

REFLECTION:

  • Are there generational cycles you want to break free from?
  • What are they?
  • You have the power to make different choices.  What do you want to change?
  • Start today.

SET YOU FREE

The things you avoid are the things you need to pay attention to the most.  These are the things at the root of your deepest struggles.  These are also the very things that will set you free.  WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO FEEL?

REFLECTION:

  • What scares you?
  • What have you been running away from – avoiding perhaps even as an act of self-preservation?
  • Do you “should” on yourself?
  • What do you need to do to unburden yourself today?
