“Life is like a camera. Just focus on what’s important, capture the good times, develop from the negatives, and if things don’t work out, just take another shot.”

Do you focus on wha’t’s most important?
Have you captured life’s good times?

Are you ready to take another shot?

“We are visitors on this planet. We are here for ninety or one hundred years at the very most. During that period, we must try to do something good, something useful, with our lives. If you contribute to other people’s happiness, you will find the true goal, the true meaning of life.”
Quote by His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
REFLECTION:
What have you done that is good and useful in your life?
How have you contributed to the happiness of another?
What can you do today to live the true meaning of life?
Let’s invite one another in. Maybe then we can begin to fear less, to make fewer wrong assumptions, to let go of the biases and stereotypes that unnecessarily divide us. Maybe we can better embrace the ways we are the same. It’s not about being perfect. It’s not about where you get yourself in the end. There’s power in allowing yourself to be known and heard, in owning your unique story, in using your authentic voice. And there’s grace in being willing to know and hear others. this, for me, is how we become.
The closing paragraph of BECOMING by Michele Obama
REFLECTION:
Do you allow yourself to be known and heard?
Do you own your unique story?
Do you create space for others to be known and heard?
Are you BECOMING?
