THE DAILY SPARK

HAPPY 4TH… FREEDOM RINGS

“We, the People, recognize that we have responsibilities as well as rights; that our destinies are bound together; that a freedom which only asks what’s in it for me, a freedom without a commitment to others, a freedom without love or charity or duty or patriotism, is unworthy of our founding ideals, and those who died in their defense.”

Quote by Former President Barack Obama

REFLECTION:

  • ENJOY the 4th of July Weekend!

HIDDEN OPPORTUNITY

Each problem has hidden in it an opportunity so powerful that it literally dwarfs the problem.  The greatest success stories were created by people who recognized a problem and turned it into an opportunity. 

Quote by Joseph Sugarman

REFLECTION:

  • What is a problem you are facing now?
  • How can you shift your perspective to see this as an “opportunity?”
  • What is one step you will take to make this shift?

THE THEIF OF JOY

Comparison is the thief of joy.

Quote by President Theodore Roosevelt

REFLECTION:

  • Comparison can leave you feeling inferior or superior…unhappy or dissatisfied.
  • Do you find yourself comparing what you have, do, be to others?
  • Reclaim joy… stop comparing (what is often others outsides to your insides.)
