Daily Question, January 6

What is life’s lesson for you today?

  • Ose

    That I am loved, no matter what, and that I respond to this humbling gift with gratitude, kindness, and love to His Grace.

  • Marose

    When life gives you more than what you can stand, kneel.

  • Malag

    That no matter what’s going on inside my head or in my life my dog comes along wagging his tail.

  • Hot Sauce

    Words matter. One inflammatory speech can lead to insurrection. Choose your words wisely.

  • Elaine

    Every conversation can go deeper and humour is often the doorway.

  • Shellan

    Ask for what you want.

  • KC

    Show up as best I can. Pay attention with kindness, compassion, patience and forgiveness. Do and be the best I can. Practice open mindedness, open heartedness, gratitude and generosity. Let go of results …

  • Don Jones

    That at the core of my happiness is a vital energy that I am able to cultivate. It is an invigoration of my very life energy and has little to do with what happens in the material world.

  • Helen

    I cannot predict tomorrow so focus on today and fear not what may come

  • Javier Visionquest

    Diabetes is like suddenly having to learn to walk a tight rope.

    • Holly in Ohio

      Aw, I’m sorry to hear that. I have a friend recently diagnosed with diabetes and also an old friend who has had it for decades. The beginning can be very frustrating, but it will get better as you learn about yourself; and your doctor can help you figure out how to stabilize. Hang in there. It’s like learning a new skill. The rope will eventually feel like a road!

  • Patricia

    To not lose heart; to keep the faith; to trust; to not waste precious time on worry. No matter how long and dark the night may be, morning WILL come. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

  • Lauryn

    Understand that you can’t be good at everything and know your limits. I excel at parts of my job, but I’m hopelessly terrible when it comes to time management. I’ve tried and failed many times to change this and am frustrated and disappointed in myself.

  • Linda

    Stay active. It is easy to stay in and not do my walks when the weather is cold and rainy. But I need to keep moving, so I commit to that today wherever I can do it.

    • Holly in Ohio

      Me too, Linda. Glad you mentioned this… because of it, I will go once around the block right now. It’s not much, but it’s something! Thank you.

  • pkr

    Honor myself. Practice self care. Make myself a priority. ✨🙏❤️

  • Carol

    My daughter has just been diagnosed with COVID 19. I’m reminded of a quote from Eckhart Tolle, “Life is the Dancer and You are the Dance”. I will do my best today to let Life dance me gracefully and not fearfully.

    • KC

      Carol, Sending Prayers and love to you and your daughter – that she will quickly return to good health with relative ease, and that you both feel safely held in a dance of love … Warmly, KC

      • Carol

        KC, Thanks. The image of “safety in a dance of love” sounds like fuel for a poem!

  • Holly in Ohio
    My lesson today is to take one more step. The journey is often very long, and sometimes it may seem we do not have the strength, wisdom, or time to complete it. Taking one more step is an act of faith. You could say we are on many paths, many journeys at the same time. I'm on a journey to lower my carbon footprint. I'm on a journey to be more kind and helpful to my family and really anyone around me. I'm on a journey to fulfil my own happiness and give love to myself. Just one step, for ...

    Just one step, for each, today. That’s my lesson. 🙂

      NiceI. I like it 🌞🐌🌱…

  • Dibs

    Be here with all that is to be experienced here and now

  • Mike S

    My lesson for today and every day is that there is an amazing wisdom at work in the world and in my life which we could call God, universal consciousness or whatever term you identify with. All I know is that I have been upheld time it again.

  • Papilio

    I could not get out of bed until almost 8 am. I had a restless night perhaps because I had a cup of decaf coffee around 9 pm, or perhaps because I tried to push myself hard to finish one more thing last night. Either way I will be kind to myself and let the chips fall where they may.

    • Mica

      Insomnia has increased greatly this year, according to my news magazine, The Week. It has certainly increased for me. Warm wishes to you, Papilio –

  • Jackie

    Appreciate that people communicate differently, and try not to judge certain communication styles as “wrong” just because i find it challenging. Not everyone has taken communication skills training. Not every bird sounds the same. Appreciate the amazing gift of communication in all its forms.
