THE DAILY SPARK

HOLES

                                               holes

i wonder if those who have the biggest holes in their hearts are also the ones who have the greatest capacity to let the light come in. to love. and give. and weep their sorrows into gratitude.  that is to say, sometimes brokenness has a way of cracking you right down to your barest parts.  and when you have nothing left to hide, nowhere left to go and no one left beside you, you can either choose to become a boarded up wall or a wide open window.

REFLECTION:

  • To live is to experience love, loss, brokenness, betrayal, grief. 
  • Have you been cracked to you barest parts?
  • Do you choose to be a boarded up wall or a wide open window?
  • You choose.

YOUR EXAMPLE

The world is changed by your example not by your opinion.

Quote by Paul Coelho

REFLECTION:

  • What example do you set?
  • How do you “be”?
  • How can you “be” an example of loving kindness today?

WHAT DOES THE WORLD OWE US?

What does the world owe us?

This question is a trap.  It’s based on scarcity and entitlement, and most of all, the world isn’t listening.  When more and more people focus on this question, it simply pushes us apart.  On the other hand, “what do I owe the world?” opens the door for endless opportunity.  When lots of people ask this question, the contributions add up, the connections are solidified and better is possible.  The best part is that waiting for the world to get things just right is exhausting and frustrating, while taking responsibility for what we might be able to contribute or lead can be energizing and fun.

  • What do you owe the world?
  • How are you contributing to make better possible?
  • What can you take responsibility for – lead for change?
