THE DAILY SPARK

SEEDS YOU PLANT…

Seed emerging

Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant.

Quote by Robert Lewis Stevenson

REFLECTION:

  • Do you focus on efforts and actions that produce immediate results/rewards?
  • How do you balance short term gratification for long term growth and progress?
  • Endurance and patience are needed for greater impact/results to materialize.  Are you willing to plant seeds (actions) that will yield a greater harvest in the future?
  • What seeds are you planting today for your tomorrow?

TRADE OFFS

Tidal Basin, Washington DC

… If you’ve found a way to make a living, the challenge in making a life is to find the guts to think about the size of your work container.  That’s not easy.  It comes with tradeoffs.  We don’t always succeed. 

Seth Godin’s Daily Blog (3/30/24) partial selectio

REFLECTION:

  • Does your work occupy a disproportionate amount of your time?
  • Can you rightsize your work container?
  • What tradeoffs are you willing to make to have a more balanced life?

RISING

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

Confucius

REFLECTION:

  • Have you or are you currently trying to avoid falling?
  • When have you had to pick yourself up having fallen?
  • Is there a situation you are facing that requires you to rise up?
  • What step do you need to take?
