THE DAILY SPARK

SPENDING TIME

“Time is the coin of your life.  It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how to spend it.  Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.”

Quote by Carl Sandburg

REFLECTION:

  • How are you spending your time?
  • Do you allow others to “spend your time?”
  • What is one thing you will do today with the coin of your life?

IF I WERE REALLY KIND….

You can’t start, I know and if I were kind, I’d see you halfway, but I am more than kind.  You must enter alone.  I will meet you on the other side.

Quote from: THE BOOK OF AWAKENING by Mark Nepo. 

REFLECTION:

  • Is there someplace you must enter alone?
  • Are you willing to take a step on your own?
  • Is there someone you are helping – thinking you are being kind? 
  • Can you meet them on the “other side?”  What can you do to be “more than kind” to that person and let them take the step alone.

LEAVING THE NEST

We, like birds, are meant to fly and sing – that’s all – and all our plans and schemes are things of a nest that once outgrown we leave.

Quote from THE BOOK OF AWAKENING by Mark Nepo

REFLECTION:

  • Is there a nest you have outgrown and need to leave? 
  • How are you flying and singing in your life now?

  • How can you add more joy into your daily living?
