We search in the mirror each day. We look for physical changes as time goes on. How often do we pause and reflect on the changes within?


The end of a school year. A farewell of sorts to those moving on, sometimes with sadness, at times with reverence for what they've taught us. Or at least what they were supposed to teach us.

...Sometimes the world seems against you

The journey may leave a scar

But scars can heal and reveal just

Where you are.

(from I am Moana)

Teams ending, teams starting up. New jobs. Retirement. Travels. Unemployment. Loneliness. Unknowing.

How does each person effect the other? Testing our integrity, our compassion, our growth. What are we willing to give up for recognition, moving up the ladder, security, politeness? Oh, how we resent these lessons.

We would more easily pack a bag and run away than sit in the pain of learning. (Tweet This)

How quickly do we recognize what these valuable (although possibly dominating/aggravating/hurtful/negative) people bring to our lives? We are annoyed that we constantly have to accommodate, we don't always have the strength to step out with grace...quietly.

Yes, if we are fortunate we meet people who see the world as we do, who stand in the same beliefs. And that is always a relief, kindred souls tested on the same battlefield. We can turn to each other to talk it out over a coffee and a walk.

But they are rare, as time goes on. We cover up, we mask. We do it well. How many people do you know that you would bare your tender heart to?

Do we recognize our lessons in the moment? Do we only learn in retrospect? (Tweet This)

Some day do we say, ahh! I fell for it again! I let that kind of personality get under my skin...again.

Or, I admire her resilience. His courage in tackling new things is inspiring.

Which way do we tend to lean?

As Life sends us on our next journey...let us ask the question most important for our tomorrow - What is this experience teaching me about myself?

The answers are within.

The call isn’t out there at all, it’s inside me. Moana
