On Loving Well

~ Loving Well ~
"Allowing and promoting
the joys of others
with a committed, heart-felt
joy of your own."
© Lee Wise 

Reflecting

• We "allow" the joys of others to become a part of our lives because we care for and value them.  They may not be our own joys of choice, but we choose to bring them into our lives because we love the persons who receive joy from them.        
• We promote those same joys from a committed, heart-felt stance for the very same reasons.  

Reflecting More...

• How might you combine the concepts of "joy," "commitment" and "heart-felt" when sharing with people how to reflect love to those you love?  
• In answering the above, would it be beneficial for anyone within your circle of influence to hear what you would relate?   

Your Takeaway...

"My one affirming, encouraging or positive takeaway is _____________."

On Caring Enough To Change

~ Caring Enough To Change ~
"It Matters...
When we care enough to change
and change enough to
make a positive difference
in ourselves and others."
© Lee Wise 

Reflecting

• When things truly matter is often when things truly change...including ourselves.     
• There is a direct relationship between caring and changing: caring enough usually inspires us enough to make the needed changes in ourselves or in our commitment to help others. 
• And, how thankful we for people who use their drive to care in focused ways to create organizations that truly do make a difference!  For instance, Samaritan's Purse is one that I truly appreciate: what a difference maker!  

Reflecting More...

• What comes to mind as you think about such subjects as caring and change... including personal change? 
• Have you previously journaled about the subject before and... would it be a good time to review what you may have recorded?  
• Or... have you used your gifts to teach others on the subjects of caring or change?  If so, would the timing be right for someone else to be exposed to your positive, helpful thinking?  

Your Takeaway...

"My one affirming, encouraging or positive takeaway is _____________."

Speaking Of Making A Difference

~ On Making A Difference ~
"It Matters...
when we seek to make a difference
because we feel deeply
that making such a difference
really does matter."
© Lee Wise 

Reflecting

• The desire to make a difference positively invades our lives in so many ways: and I'm thinking of, here, not necessarily the "big waves ways."    
• A non "big wave" way may be seen in the desire to help out with a mother's  need for child care during the afternoon, helping a neighbor with his car repair... or thousands of other positive, meaningful ways.   
• Naturally, someone who sees a need to make a difference make embark on a journey that allows him to make a huge difference... such as how Charity:water began.    

Reflecting More...

• By any chance, have you run across someone this week who decided to make a positive difference in a person's life?  And if you did, would even a simple reflection of that action (or actions) bring a moment of encouragement to your own life? 
• Should you decide to journal about "making a difference," what thoughts, ideas, questions, or observations come to mind that might provide for you a positive journaling moment?  

Your Takeaway...

"My one affirming, encouraging or positive takeaway is _____________."

On Being Encouraged

~ On Being Encouraged ~
"Allowing the kindness of others
to kindly affect the moments of our lives
and being grateful in the process."
© Lee Wise 

Reflecting

• Talk about a great combination for a moment in the day: encouragement, kindness and gratefulness!      
• As we take in the kindness of others, become encouraged by the same and assume a moment or two of gratefulness during the journey of the event -- or events -- we are kindly encouraged to become an encouragement to others.     

Reflecting More...

• Reflecting on the need and importance of encouraging people, what was the last encouraging word or act that you encountered?  Why ask?  Simple: to bring back a moment of encouragement into your day! 
• If what came to mind was truly pleasant for you, would it be worth an entry in a journal or could something be place in your environment as reminder of that moment? (a note or an object that would be seen off and on throughout the day for instance) 

Your Takeaway...

"My one affirming, encouraging or positive takeaway is _____________."

Kindness

~ Kindness ~
"Listening and responding
to the whispers of the heart
as it leads us to reflect concern
for the well-being of others."
© Lee Wise 

Reflecting

• Many times over kindness wins the day for any number of people during a given day, week or year.      
• And when kindness does win the day, we are grateful for those special people who hear the whispers of their own hearts and respond to what they hear in such ways that bless our lives!     

Reflecting More...

• Looking back at the times of your life when kindness has won the day for you, what is brought immediately to mind? 
• In terms of what has been brought to mind, would it be good to journal one or more of those times for your own special reasons: in other words, to serve as an encouragement for you in some way?  

Your Takeaway...

"My one affirming or positive takeaway is _____________."

On Being Inspirational

~ Inspirational ~
"Being a reason
for the challenge,
hope or encouragement
of another because
you can and you care to."
© Lee Wise 

Reflecting

• We love to be a variety of the right "reasons" for the good things that happen to others or the good moments they experience.    
• And our reasons for doing so make all of the difference: sincerity, truthfulness and sensitivity count... a lot!  

Reflecting More...

• If you had to share with someone your most special reasons to make good things happen in the lives of those you seek to influence, what would you share?  
• And, of the good things that you have made happen in the lives of others, what stands out?  Why?  Are you in a position where sharing what you have learned could be the right time to do so?    

Your Takeaway...

"My one affirming or positive takeaway is _____________."

Beauty In Life

~ Beauty In Life ~
That which we identify and create
in the varied and complex
kaleidoscope of living
© Lee Wise 

Reflecting

• We identify so much in life.  We look up addresses, locate places to take a vacation, check out our favorite movies, and countless -- as in countless -- other things.  
• And we create so very much of the life we live: again, countless other things in life we create.  

Reflecting More...

• Should you have to give someone three things to identify in life that would bring more than a few positive moments in their life, what would you share with them?  
• And along the same line of thinking, should you suggest three things for that same someone to create in life that would bring them moments of joy, what might you suggest?
