FAST OR FAR?

If you want to go fast, go alone.  If you want to go far, go together.

Author unknown but quote attributed to an African Proverb.

REFLECTION:

  • Are you going it alone?  Is it because you want to get done faster?
  • Can you go further if you did it together?
  • Are you going together? Is it because you want to go further?
  • Is this something you need to do alone? 
  • Discern the best action for this situation … alone (fast) or together (far) and act.

NECESSITY OF COURAGE

One isn’t necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential.  Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency.  We can’t be kind, true, merciful, generous or honest. 

Quote by Maya Angelou

REFLECTION:

  • How much courage do you have?
  • How can you be more courageous today?

NEW EYES

The true journey of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having fresh eyes. 

Quote by Marcel Proust
Marcel Proust was a French novelist, critic, and essayist who wrote the monumental novel À la recherche du temps perdu, published in seven parts between 1913 and 1927. He is considered by critics and writers to be one of the most influential authors of the 20th century. (1871 – 1922)

REFLECTION:

What new landscapes can you discover with fresh eyes today?
