THE DAILY SPARK

The modern world is optomized for convenience, not improvement.  The default path is usually the more convenient path.  And I get it.  Who wants their days to be a pain in the neck?  I like sitting in comfortable rooms and watching my favorite shows too.  But the body and mind only grow when placed under a stimulus.  If you want improvement, you have to choose something different than convenience.  It can be lovely to have a day where you do not push yourself, but it rarely works out well if you have a life where you do not push yourself.Quote by James Clear 3-2-1 Thursday BlogREFLECTION:Do you choose convenience over improvement?How much do you push yourself?What would stimulate - push you to new heights your today?

We cannot live without being affected by others, but we are only real when we let truth and love shape us from within.Quote by Mark Nepo - Book of AwakeningREFLECTION:How willing are you to be "real".. vulnerable?Are you willing to tell the truth to yourself?Vulnerability requires courage... and that deepens the relationship.  How willing are you to be "real" in your relationships and even with yourself?Try being vulnerable today!
