LEARNING

You don’t have to suffer to learn, but if you don’t learn from suffering then your life becomes truly meaningless.

Quote by Viktor Frankl from his book MAN’S SEARCH FOR MEANING

REFLECTION:

  • What have you learned from suffering?
  • How has that suffering made your life more meaningful?
  • Are you suffering now?  What are you refusing to learn?

LIVE AS IF….

As long as we continue to live as if we are what we do, what we have, and what other people think about us, we will remain filled with judgments, opinions, evaluations, and condemnations.  We will remain addicted to putting people and things in their “right” place. 

Quote by Henri J. M. Nouwen

Henri Jozef Machiel Nouwen (1932 – 1996) was a Dutch Catholic priest, professor, writer and theologian. His interests were rooted primarily in psychology, pastoral ministry, spirituality, social justice and community.

REFLECTION:

  • Is your identity tied to what you do? To what you have?
  • Does what other people think of you drive your actions?
  • Focus on “BEing” without attachment to what you do, have or others think of you…

Don’t find fault,

Find a remedy;

Anybody can complain.

Quote by Henry Ford

REFLECTION:

  • Are you a complainer?
  • Do you easily find fault?
  • What is a remedy you can implement?
