As long as we continue to live as if we are what we do, what we have, and what other people think about us, we will remain filled with judgments, opinions, evaluations, and condemnations. We will remain addicted to putting people and things in their “right” place.
Quote by Henri J. M. Nouwen
Henri Jozef Machiel Nouwen (1932 – 1996) was a Dutch Catholic priest, professor, writer and theologian. His interests were rooted primarily in psychology, pastoral ministry, spirituality, social justice and community.
REFLECTION:
- Is your identity tied to what you do? To what you have?
- Does what other people think of you drive your actions?
- Focus on “BEing” without attachment to what you do, have or others think of you…
