YOUR AGE

Your biological age is the number of days you’ve lived.

Your psychological age is the number of thoughts you’ve entertained.

Your sociological age is the number of contributions you’ve made.

James Clear – 3-2-1 Thursday Blog

REFLECTION:

  • How do you measure your age… days, thoughts or contributions?
  • How do you want to be remembered?

ASTONISHING LIGHT

I wish I could show you when you are lonely or in darkness the astonishing light of your own being.

Persian poet and Sufi mystic Shamsedin-Mohammad Hafez Shirazi

REFLECTION:

  • Many,  because of our “humanness”,  from time to time, experience overwhelm, lack of hope, depression, feeling lonely. It is during these times we have disconnected from our light.
  • If you are experiencing any of these signs now, how can you reconnect with your light?

THE STORIES WE TELL OURSELVES

If it happened to us, our memory of it is a story, our record of it with us at the center.  Even if it’s on video, even if other people were there, our narrative and the context and the play by play belong to us.  The useful questions might be:  “Is my story helpful?”  And the follow on could be:  “Is there any other version of this story that might be more helpful?”

Quote by Seth Godin from his daily blog

REFLECTION:

  • Is there a narrative you are “stuck” on? 
  • Is there another version of the story that might be more helpful?
  • Write a new story.
