DOING LIFE DIFFERENTLY

Are you ready for a miracle?   Are you ready to do your life differently?

REFLECTION

Write about a miracle that happened to you in the past.

What is a miracle you would like to happen in the present.

Request a miracle…. write it down and see what happens.

Keep track of “synchronicities” that happen. Write about them.

HOW A HUMAN CAN CHANGE

This Is How A Human Being Can Change

There’s a worm addicted to eating grape leaves.

Suddenly, he wakes up.

Call it grace, whatever something wakes him,

And he’s no longer a worm.

He’s the entire vineyard.

And the orchard too, the fruit, the trunks.

A growing wisdom and joy that doesn’t need to devour.

Poem by Rumi

REFLECTION:

  • We often doubt our ability to change.  Something happens to wake us up… a transformational experience and we are no longer the same… no longer a worm but someone much larger .. an entire vineyard. As a result you realize you no longer need so much stuff.
  • Has this happened to you?
  • Call it grace or whatever.. but change can and does happen.
  • Are you willing to change… be changed?

LUCKY YOU!

I count myself lucky, having long ago won a lottery paid to me in seven sunrises a week for life.

Quote by Robert Brault

REFLECTION:

  • Did you see the sunrise this morning?
  • Waking up to another day… seeing a sunrise or watching the sunset is a gift. 
  • Can you appreciate this simple yet profound gift?
