THE DAILY SPARK

THE FIRST STEP

The first step to getting anywhere is deciding you’re no longer willing to stay where you are.

Quote by J.P. Morgan

REFLECTION:

  • Do you feel stuck?
  • Do you feel at the mercy of another?  Feeling no way out? Victimized?
  • What can you do to  take your power back?
  • What is one action you can take to get in motion?

HARD LIFE… EASY LIFE..

Life is harder when you expect a lot of the world and little of yourself.

Life is easier when you expect a lot of yourself and little of the world. 

High standards, low expectations.

Quote by James Clear – Atomic Habits

REFLECTION:

  • Do expect a lot of the world or a lot of yourself?
  • Do you want a hard life or an easier life?
  • Set high standards with low expectations!

REAL CARE

Real care means the willingness to help each other in making our brokenness into a gateway to joy.

Quote by Henri J. M. Nouwen

REFLECTION:

  • The holidays are approaching… that means parties and cookie exchanges and and shopping for gifts and more. AND for some it brings on a deep state of sadness.
  • Yet what we are really longing for is belonging… to feel loved and accepted.
  • Is there someone you know that is feeling broken?  Can you reach out today to help them?  Listen…offer encouragement.. be there to help shift to more joy.
