WHY HELP?

There is a difference between helping someone because if you don’t you will lose their love or some sense of you own image as a caring person, and helping someone because your impulse of heart moves you to their aid.

From: THE BOOK OF AWAKENING by Mark Nepo

REFLECTION: 

  • Reflect on someone you are helping now or helped in the recent past. 
  • What were your motives?
  • Were you afraid to lose love or because your heart called you forth to help?

ABUNDANCE OF YOUR LIFE

“Today I overheard an American teenager comparing her deprivation to that of our children (in Peru, South America), because her parents would only buy her a used car.  There are none so impoverished as those who do not acknowledge the abundance of their lives.”

Quote from THE SUNFLOWER by Richard Paul Evans

REFLECTION:

  • What abundance can you acknowledge today?
  • Be grateful!

FITTING IN…

Fitting in is changing who you are in order to be accepted.  Belonging is to be accepted by never compromising your authentic self. 

Quote by Brene Brown

REFLECTION:  

  • Do you change who you are to fit in?
  • Examine where you change who you are to fit in.  Are you paying a price for that? 
  • How can you stop compromising your authentic self?
  • What is one thing you will do today to BE-long to you and your authentic self?
