YOUR CONSCIENCE

“They’re certainly entitled to think that, and they’re entitled to full respect for their opinions… but before I can live with other folks I’ve got to live with myself.  The one thing that doesn’t abide by majority is a person’s conscience.”

Quote from TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD by Harper Lee

REFLECTION:

  • Do you act in accordance with your own conscience?
  • What actions do you take that are driven by the opinion of others?
  • Do create space for others to have their own opinions especially if they differ from yours?
  • “I’ve got to live with myself”… how well are you doing that?

HARDEST TEACHER

Experience is the hardest kind of teacher… it gives you the test first and the lesson afterwards. 

Quote by Oscar Wilde

REFLECTION:

  • What ‘test” provided you with the greatest lesson?
  • Reflect on an experience that was hard but you learned a lot from it?
  • How does that lesson apply to your life now?  Still learning it?  Or did you get that T-shirt and don’t need a repeat?
