RULE # 4
“Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today.”
REFLECTION:
Do you spend time comparing yourself to others?
Are you better today than you were yesterday?
THE SPRING THAW
“In my own life, as winters turn into spring, I find it not only hard to cope with mud but also hard to credit the small harbingers of larger life to come, hard to hope until the outcome is secure. Spring teaches me to look more carefully for the green stems of possibility; for the intuitive hunch that may turn into a larger insight, for the glance or touch that may thaw a frozen relationship, for the stranger’s act of kindness that makes the world seem hospitable again”
Quote by Parker Palmer
Parker Palmer is an American author, educator and activist who focuses on issues of education, community leadership, spirituality and social change. He has published ten books including: The Courage To Teach and Let Your Life Speak.
REFLECTION:
As we move into spring, what new possibilities do you see emerging for you?
Is there a part of you that has been frozen?
Is there a frozen relationship that can thaw?
Is there an act of kindness you can do to make the world (your world) better?
FIRST DUTY
“The first duty of love is to LISTEN.”
Quote by Paul Tillich
Paul Johannes Tillich was a German-American Christian existentialist philosopher and Lutheran Protestant theologian. 1886 – 1965
REFLECTION:
When in dialogue with another do you listen, really listen?
Or do you try to fix, offer a solution, defend your position?
How can you love more by listening?
