BE A BEGINNER

It is impossible to get better and look good at the same time.  Give yourself permission to be a beginner.

Quote by Julia Cameron, The Artist’s Way

REFLECTION:

  • Do you give yourself permission to be a beginner?
  • Are you willing to risk… try new things and not look good?
  • Can you give yourself permission to be a beginner and try something new?

HELP EACH OTHER

“Rivers do not drink their own water; trees do not eat their own fruit; the sun does not shine on itself, and flowers do not spread fragrance for themselves.  Living for others is a rule of nature.  No matter how difficult it is, life is good when you are happy but much better when others are happy because of you.”

Quote by Pope Francis

REFLECTION:

  • Do you make others happy?
  • Has someone done something to make you happy today (or yesterday)?
  • What can you do today for someone to make them happy?
  • Do one nice thing for someone today or over the weekend…. bring joy to another!

FIVE YEARS FROM NOW…

“You will be the SAME PERSON in five years as you are today except for two things: THE PEOPLE YOU MEET and the BOOKS YOU READ.”

Quote by Charlie Tremendous Jones

REFLECTION:

  • Do you like who you are today?
  • Who are the people you hang out with?  Do they have a positive influence on you? 
  • What books are you reading?  Do they support who you are and who you want to become?
  • Are there any changes you want to make?
