THE DAILY SPARK

ONLY LOVE

A generous heart in a tree...

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. 

Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

Quote by Martin Luther King

REFLECTION:

  • In a world with so much fighting, hate and divisiveness, MLK reminds us that only love and light can help heal.
  • How can you bring more light and love to your family, friends, community and YOU?
  • What can you do today to bring more love to those around you? 
  • Take one action (remember love is a verb!)

WRESTLING, FIGHTING OR DANCING

We can wrestle with a challenge or a problem and find energy and possibility while doing it.

And we can dance with someone else as we seek a mutual way forward.

Fighting tends to be more brutal, final and hurtful than is often productive.  You don’t want to spend your days fighting.

Words matter.

FROM:  Seth Godin’s Daily Blog

REFLECTION:

  • Do you tend to wrestle, dance or fight with a challenge or a problem?
  • If you tend to fight, how is that working for you?
  • Consider a situation you are currently challenged by.  How can you dance… find a mutual way forward?
  • Remember – your words matter.  Choose wisely.

PEARLS OF WISDOM

Watch out for each other. Love everyone and forgive everyone, including yourself.  Forgive your anger.  Forgive your guilt.  Your shame.  Your sadness. Embrace and open up your love, your joy, your truth, and most especially your heart. 

Quote by Jim Henson

REFLECTION:

  • WHAT IF… you could live these words.  How would your life change?
  • It is often difficult to forgive another and even more difficult to forgive yourself.  That little gremlin voice often has a large presence. 
  • Can you forgive yourself and open up to your love, joy and your heart?
  • Take a step towards that today.
