THE DAILY SPARK

FOCUSING ATTENTION

Signs spring is coming to Washington DC

Where we choose to direct our gaze determines not only what we learn or believe, but how we choose to see the world. 

Typing is a skill.  Juggling is a skill.  So is project management.  It’s easy to overlook the fact that we can get better at what we think about, create and consume. 

If we’re not happy with how external forces are stealing and redirecting our attention, we can change.

REFLECTION:

  • Where are you gazing these days?
  • What world are you seeing?
  • Is that what you want to see?
  • Do you want to change what external forces are occupying your attention?
  • Focusing is a skill… you can change it!

CHOICES…

Baby's toy hiding in a tree..lol

“You can’t always choose what happens to you, but you can ALWAYS choose how you respond.  You can respond in love.”

Quote by Scarlett Lewis

REFLECTION:

  • How do you respond (perhaps react?) to things that happen to you?
  • Do you feel you have a “right” to respond/react a certain way?
  • What if you could “choose” to RESPOND with LOVE?
  • How would love change the situation?

LOVE AS A FORCE

Love is the force that transforms and improves the Soul of the World.  It is we who nourish the Soul of the World, and the world we live in will be either better or worse, depending on whether we become better or worse.  That’s where the power of love comes in.  Because when we love, we always strive to become better than we are.

REFLECTION:  

  • Love is a powerful force and healer.
  • How can you love more… be more loving?
  • Today… Valentine’s Day, show love toward another in a special way.  Observe its power and impact!
  • HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY TO ALL OF YOU!!
