THE DAILY SPARK

ONLY ONE COURSE

The people I distrust the most are those who want to improve our lives but have only one course of action in mind.

Quote by Frank Herbert

REFLECTION:

  • Do you think there is only one way of doing something?
  • Are you open to new possibilities?
  • Try something new today… take another course of action.  What happens??

 

ELUSIVE CONTROL

It’s negative when we say someone is out of control.  They’ve lost their self-restraint, and they’re doing things that they’ll regret later.  And it’s honest when we acknowledge that just about everything is out of our control.  We can work to influence it, we can practice accepting it, but any time we’re engaging with others or with the future, we’re not completely in charge.  Control is elusive.  If we accept the parts that are out of our hands, we can focus on the elements where we have leverage and influence instead.

REFLECTION:

  • Where in your life do you feel “out of control?”
  • Where can you shift your focus?
  • Where do you have leverage and influence – start there.

CLEAR THE AIR

A truth unsaid can still be felt.  What needs to be discussed, but hasn’t been said yet?  Clear the air.

REFLECTION:

  • Is there a conversation that needs to be had?
  • What hasn’t been said?
  • Muster the courage and have a courageous conversation.  Clear the air!
