THE DAILY SPARK

NO FACTS?

There are no facts, only interpretations.

Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

REFLECTION:

  • Think about a time you had an experience with another and their interpretation was completely different than yours.  You wonder, were we even in the same space?
  • We all see the world through the lens of our own experiences.  Conflict often erupts because we haven’t taken the time to understand the other persons view.
  • Is there someone you have a misunderstanding with now?  Can you explore their interpretation of your “facts?”

WORK IN PROGRESS

Human beings are a work in progress that mistakingly think they are finished.

Quote by Daniel Gilbert – Professor of Psychology at Harvard University

REFLECTION:

  • Change is constant… whether we like it or not, change is happening to our bodies, our minds, technology, climate, mother earth….
  • Are you resisting  change – “this is who I am.  I’m not going to change”?
  • Are you a continuous learner?
  • Can you embrace a change today?

MAKING MEANING…

Experience is not what happens to you, it’s what you do with what happens to you. 

Quote by Aldous Huxley

REFLECTION:

  • There is what happens to you and then there is how you interpret what happened to you.
  • Think of an experience you recently had… perhaps an unpleasant one… what is the silver lining it has offered.. what did you learn?
