“If the world and how it works is a reflection of the people who live in it, what will it take for us to realize we have a lot of work to do?”
-Iyanla Vanzant, Acts of Faith…
How do the words above resonate with you?
Pause here for a moment and free yourself from distractions:
Take a deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... calm your mind and be present...
Vanzant’s words above is a great way to open one’s mind to reflect on this month’s theme of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
acknowledgement /noun/
-acceptance of the truth or existence of something.
The definition is fairly simple to understand yet leaves its subject open for interpretation. I strongly believe this is an opportunity for each of us.
Today’s challenge: Pick a lane and make time to reflect on the following questions:
What am I willing to acknowledge? ...about myself...my strengths...triggers...
What am I pretending not to see? ...when I look in the mirror...in my social and/or professional circles...
How do I want to show up? authenticity, what does that look like for me... how do I want to be seen by others...
What area of my life needs immediate attention? ...my growth opportunity... what to I need to know to personally improve...
On a scale of 1 to 10, how likely am I to put these thoughts into positive action? ...time for action if I want to see change
What are you willing to do?
Don’t miss your opportunity! Be intentional, encourage others to do the same and watch what happens.
You got this!
