WHAT COUNTS…

Success is not final.  Failure is not fatal.  It is the courage to continue that counts.

Quote by Winston Churchill

REFLECTION:

  • Is there a “failure” that still haunts you?
  • Do you “rest on your laurels” of a previous success?
  • What courageous action is calling you?  What steps do you need take?

AGING

Aging is not for the weak.  One day you wake up and realize that your youth is gone, but along with it, so go insecurity, haste, and the need to please… You learn to walk more slowly, but with greater certainty.  You say goodbye without fear, and you cherish those who stay.  Aging means letting go, it means accepting, it means discovering that beauty was never in our skin… but in the story we carry inside us.

Quote by Meryl Streep

REFLECTION:

  • As you have aged, how has your perspective changed?
  • What have you let go of?
  • What have you accepted? Discovered?
  • What story do you carry inside?

DISAPPOINT or APPEASE?

It is better to disappoint people with the truth than to appease them with a lie.

Quote by Simon Sinek

REFLECTION:

  • Telling the truth can be scary for some. 
  • Do you tend to be a person who appeases others so not to be in conflict… afraid to disappoint others?
  • Are you willing to speak your truth?  Remember… the truth will set you free!
