YESTERDAY… TODAY

Don’t let yesterday take up too much of today.

Quote by Will Rogers

REFLECTION:

  • Do you let thoughts of yesterday ruin your day?
  • You can’t go back in time. You can’t change the past.  Are you stuck thinking just because it went wrong previously,  the same thing will occur again?
  • How can you look forward?
  • What does looking forward look like for you today?

THREE LIVES!

Everyone has three lives: the public, the private and the secret.

Quote by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

REFLECTION:

  • Human lives are complex and multifaceted. 
  • Our public persona, the one we show to the external world, includes the roles we play in society.  Do you like that persona?
  • Our private life encompasses the relationships we have with family, close friends and loved ones. With these individuals, we may be vulnerable – share our true selves – express emotions, thoughts, feelings that are not always visible to the public.  Do you like that persona?
  • Our secret life includes hidden thoughts, desires and actions that we keep from others – even those closest. Do you like that persona?
  • Examine who you BE.

STRONGER

The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places.

Quote by Ernest Hemingway

REFLECTION:

  • Where have you been broken and are now stronger?
