Reflect & Evolve

Only when you've crossed the river can you say the crocodile has a lump on his snout. - Ghanian proverb

Think about individuals you may admire. It can be someone you know or a famous personality. Chances are, you admire them because they have a story to tell. A story or an experience you can relate too.

This week's reflection is a stark reminder that experience is always the best teacher.

Never downplay what you bring to the table! Your experience has taught you tolerance, perseverance, and strength. Experience has likely given you patience and forced you to endure.

Your experience has helped you establish authority and provided you with the foresight to maneuver obstacles with confidence and precision.

This week, write down the names of those people you admire. For each name, write 2 attributes about the individual/s. Reflect on those attributes. What you will find is that the same qualities you admire in others are the same qualities others admire in you.

    Remember to write this reflection down somewhere and allow our amazing products to create a meditative space for this daily reflection.
