THE DAILY SPARK

MORE TIME TO THINK

The reason people get good ideas in the shower is because it’s the only time during the day when most people are away from screens long enough to think clearly.  The lesson is not to take more showers, but rather to make more time to think.

Quote by James Clear from his 3-2-1 Newsletter

REFLECTION:

  • Have you ever gotten a “good idea” in the shower?  Could it be it because of time away from all other distractions?
  • How much time do you take to think – away from screens?
  • Take a walk today without any electronics… take time to think and see what emerges – away from the screens and other distractions.
  • Note what you discover.

CRAWLING

Sculpture Marquis de Sade in LaCoste, France

You were born with wings.  Why prefer to crawl through life?

RUMI

REFLECTION:

  • Are you flying or crawling through life?
  • How can you soar today… choosing wings over crawling?

LOOKING AT…LOOKING THROUGH

Gordes, France...looking out on Provence

Before fixing what you’re looking at, check what you’re looking through….  “Got a dirty eye, see a dirty world.”

FROM:  Mark Nepo: Book of Awakening – quote from his wise grandmother.

REFLECTION:

  • What lens are you looking through?  Do you perceive the world as broken, angry, troubled?
  • Do you perceive you life as broken, troubled?
  • Check what lens you are looking at life through.
  • Do you need to make any changes… clean your lenses?
