Learning from others, living wholesomely and softening our barriers.



MONTHLY REMINDER

Reader, learn everything you can, anytime you can, from anyone you can. There will always come a time you will be grateful you did.

REFLECTION PROMPTS:

  • Who taught me something important this year?

DECEMBER'S REFLECTION PROMPT

In December, I will live well by...

Define what 'living well' means to you. Consider which attitudes, habits, rituals, rhythms, spaces, people etc. helped you live wholesomely in the last few months.

1. Lee L. Jampolsky – author of 'Smile for No Good Reason' – on living our values:

"At least three times every day, take a moment and ask yourself what is really important. Have the wisdom and the courage to build your life around your answer."

  • What truly matters to me in life?
  • If all obstacles were removed, what would the design of my ideal life be?
  • How can I get out of my own way today?

2. Sufi poet, Rumi on love:

"Your task is not to seek for love, but to merely seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it."

REFLECTION PROMPTS:

  • What walls (emotional, psychological, physical, spiritual) have I built?
  • What would it feel and look like to receive and accept love?
