THE DAILY SPARK

Transmit vs. Transform

If you do not transform your pain, you will transmit it.

Quote from Father Richard Rohr

REFLECTION:

  • Reflect on a pain you have transformed.
  • What is a pain you are wrestling with now? 
  • How can you transform it so you don’t transmit it?

BEGIN

Move from within.  Don’t move the way fear wants you to.  Begin a foolish project.

Quote from RUMI

REFLECTION:

  • What is a “foolish project” you can or must embark upon?
  • What is one thing you can do to begin? 

TEST OF PROGRESS

The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much, it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little. 

Quote from the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial in Washington DC

REFLECTION:

  • Just reflect on this quote.  What does it say to you? 
  • How do you view your “progress?”
