Categories: Q-and-A Club, Understanding Yourself

By Arlene Harder, MA, MFT
 

Aren’t intentions good enough? When checking through recent blog entries, I realized that I had failed to give you two weeks of Q-and-A Club questions. So I’ll give you both of them today, making room for this week’s question in a day or so.

Understanding Yourself

TRUE BEAUTY ALWAYS SHINES THROUGH

What qualities of the human spirit might you need to develop, and express more consciously, so that you might bring beauty not only to yourself, but to others?

Action Question: How willing are you to work on that quality this week? Why?

The question above was for the week of Jan. 28 to Feb. 3 and the one below is for Feb. 4 to Feb. 10. You can read the introduction to them at the Q-and-A Club section of Support4Change. 

Exploring Social and Political Issues

THE NITTY-GRITTY OF PROGRESS

Recognizing that positive change comes about through small, incremental steps, how have you helped improve life for others in your community? Especially, were you willing to sit through meetings that may have been boring, but managed in the end to get things done? What tangible results came about because of your involvement?

Action Question: If you haven’t yet served on a committee or organization that has the potential of making a positive change in your community, when would you be willing to do so? Why?

Here is my gratitude for today:

I give thanks for life

I give thanks for the people who test the medicine I take for my aches and pains.

I give thanks for being able to have enough dishes so that I don’t have to wash them after every meal and can let them pile up a bit.

P.S. I would like to test out the comments feature of this blog and would appreciate it if you would send a comment through the comment feature on this blog and also send one through the Contact Us feature on Support4Change. That way I’ll be able to see if everything is coming through correctly. Since I only want the comments to test the system, I will delete them once I see they have been received, unless you want them to remain on the blog.
