CONTINUOUS LEARNER

The stupidity of people comes from having an answer for everything.  The wisdom of a continuous learner comes from having a question for everything.

I adapted this quote  … Original quote by Milan Kundera from his book:  The UNBEARABLE LIGHTNESS OF BEING
(substituted continuous learner … original word – novel)
 

REFLECTION:

  • Do you have all the answers… on everything? … on certain things? Observe yourself.
  • Are you a continuous learner?
  • What questions can you ask that you haven’t because you know/have the answer?

CHANGE

Not everything that is faced can be changed.  But nothing can be changed until it is faced. 

Quote by James Baldwin from his essay titled “AS MUCH TRUTH AS ONE CAN BEAR” written for The New York Times published January 14th, 1962

REFLECTION:

  • Is there a change you are not facing?
  • How can you use this holiday weekend celebrating freedom to face something that needs to be changed and experience a new level of freedom?

HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT

See Screech Owl hidden in hole made by Pileated Woodpecker in a Sycamore tree Quiet Water's Park

Above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places.  Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.

Roald Dahl,  THE MINPINS

REFLECTION:

  • What are you not seeing?
  • Is there something hidden in an unlikely place?
  • What if you could  embrace magic and see the world with glittering eyes.  Try it.  What do you see?
