THE DAILY SPARK

LOOK WITHIN FIRST

If there is anything we wish to change in another, we should first examine it and see whether it is not something that would better be changed in ourselves.

FROM:  C.G.Jung, The Integration of the Personality

REFLECTION:

  • You probably know the bible story of the plank and the speck…
  • Are you focused on wanting to change someone else?
  • Examine yourself… is this something that you need to change in yourself?

MAKE…FUN

Make your habits fun.  This doesn’t mean each habit will be the most fun thing in your life, but nearly any habit can be made more fun than it is currently.  Ask yourself, “What would it look like if this was fun?  What would it look like if meditation or exercise or writing – or whatever- was fun?  Find the most enjoyable version of each habit you do.

Quote by James Clear – Atomic Habits

REFLECTION:

  • As the saying goes… first we make our habits then our habits make us.  What habits do you have?
  • Are there habits you want to start doing… walking, meditating, writing?
  • How can you make an activity/habit you do or want to start doing, more fun?

LETTING GO OF SUPPOSED TO…

Sometimes we can’t find the thing that will make us happy, because we can’t let go of the thing that was supposed to.

Quote by Robert Brault

REFLECTION:

  • Do you hang onto the ‘thing’ that was supposed to be?
  • What if you could let it go?
  • Find the ‘thing’ that will make you happy.
