THE DAILY SPARK

A FLASH POINT

Fragrant Easter Orchid on Milford Track, New Zealand

It all started with a major flash point; I was convinced I was dying.  It was confirmed by my doctor.  He said, “Yes, you are surely going to die, I just have no idea when.  You might be crunched by a drunk driving a rusty ‘67 Buick Riviera eight minutes after you leave here, or you might live until you are 97 years old before choking on a cherry pit or falling from a race horse.  Don’t worry about dying, examine how you are living and do something to make it better.’

REFLECTION:

  • How are you living?
  • Are you doing something to make living better for yourself and/or others?
  • What can you do today to ‘live’ more?

MIRACLES

Sometimes miracles are just good people with kind hearts.

Quote by Helen Barry

REFLECTION:

  • Have you experienced a “miracle”… some kind person that showed up?
  • Is there someone you can perform a “miracle” for today?
  • Be Kind!

THE PEBBLE

It isn’t the mountain ahead to climb that wears you out, it’s the pebble in your shoe.

Quote by Mohammed Ali

REFLECTION:

  • What ‘pebbles’ are you dealing with now?
  • What is it going to take for you to stop and remove the pebble?
  • Are you willing to continue to tolerate the pebble?
  • If not, how can you remove the pebble with ease?
