BEcoming YOU

“The thing that is really hard and really amazing is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of BEcoming YOUrself.“

Quote by Anna Quindlen

REFLECTION:

Reflect on a time you felt like you were totally yourself.
How can you BE YOU more often?
What would giving up on being perfect look like?
What is one thing you are willing to try to become more of yourself?

DOING LIFE DIFFERENTLY

Are you ready for a miracle?   Are you ready to do your life differently?

REFLECTION

Write about a miracle that happened to you in the past.

What is a miracle you would like to happen in the present.

Request a miracle…. write it down and see what happens.

Keep track of “synchronicities” that happen. Write about them.

HOW A HUMAN CAN CHANGE

Great Frogs Winery

This Is How A Human Being Can Change

There’s a worm addicted to eating grape leaves.

Suddenly, he wakes up.

Call it grace, whatever something wakes him,

And he’s no longer a worm.

He’s the entire vineyard.

And the orchard too, the fruit, the trunks.

A growing wisdom and joy that doesn’t need to devour.

Poem by Rumi

REFLECTION:

  • We often doubt our ability to change.  Something happens to wake us up… a transformational experience and we are no longer the same… no longer a worm but someone much larger .. an entire vineyard. As a result you realize you no longer need so much stuff.
  • Has this happened to you?
  • Call it grace or whatever.. but change can and does happen.
  • Are you willing to change… be changed?
