LIKE STARS…

I think we are like stars.  Something happens to burst us open; but when we burst open and think we’re dying; we’re actually turning into a supernova.  And then when we look at ourselves again, we see that we’re suddenly more beautiful than we ever were before.”

Quote by C JoyBel C

REFLECTION:

  • What has burst you open?
  • Did you experience something that felt like you were dying?
  • How have you turned into a supernova?
  • Do you see yourself as more beautiful than you ever have?
  • How can you embrace yourself as a supernova?

LIGHT AND DARKNESS

I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness for it shows me the stars.

FROM:  THE GREATEST SALESMAN IN THE WORLD PART II  The End Of The Story by Og Mandino

REFLECTION:

  • What darkness have you had to endure? 
  • Are you able to see the “stars” beyond the darkness?
  • How has the light shown you the way?
  • Can you embrace both the light and the darkness of your life?

ASSUMING OTHER PEOPLE HAVE IT TOO

Whatever “it” is.  That’s probably a mistake.  People don’t know what you know, don’t believe what you believe, don’t fear what you fear.  They’re not equally skilled, equally fast and equally equipped.  “If I were you” isn’t that helpful.

REFLECTION:

  • Do you spend time comparing yourself to others?
  • Do you offer advice to to others…. “if I were you…”?
  • How can you better believe in yourself… in your gifts and talents and skills? 
  • Can you let others experience their own journey?
