Before I built a wall I'd ask to know what I was walling in or
walling out."
~Robert Frost
Good morning!
Frost's quote reminds us that whenever we build a wall, we not only keep something in, but we also keep something out. Have you ever built a wall in your life? Perhaps an emotional wall to avoid hurt in some area, or a wall around your confidence because you are scared to fail? Perhaps you've built a wall to keep away a certain type of person?
.
Building a wall is not easy--bricks and time are required. Removing
a wall is also difficult. We would be smart to follow Frost's advice and ,before building any more walls in our emotional or physical lives, make sure the wall serves a purpose we are willing to live with.

Reflection Questions:
What physical and emotional walls have you created in your life?
Which of these walls helped you? Which hurt you?
And as always, don't forget to start your day with a heartfelt: "Something great is going to happen today... I can't wait to see what it is!"
And when ending your day ask yourself:
"What is one more thing I can do to make today matter?" |
