Wonder – is a mystery

Wonder – is a mystery

28 January – 3 February 2019

Wonder is a mystery tour. There are so many things in life to ponder on and wonder about and you can decide to have a fixed idea and form an opinionated viewpoint or you can add new information to what you already know and think of it as a missing piece within the puzzle of life.

A wise man knows that he knows nothing, others think they know everything. Life is fleeting and it is not possible to learn everything there is to learn during your lifetime so it is wise to learn from each other and somehow fit it into what you have already learned so far.

When you allow yourself to wonder, you allow your mind to open and you get curious about issues, people, how things work etc. When you open your mind and listen to what people have to share with you, you benefit by discovering new information. Sometimes creative ideas may come to mind which may then lead you to something that benefits the world.

You have something unique to offer the world that only you can – we all do – and sometimes it does feel like it is a mystery to even yourself. From the moment you are born, there is a reason you are here, you discover it along your way. Everything you go through and experience is just the path that is taking you there or helping you progress on a deeper level.

Some people know what their gift is, some people don’t, yet others may see it within them. Let others know when you see their gifts as it’s sometimes a mystery to them. Either way, you always have the power to make others feel good by recognizing, acknowledging and appreciating their gifts and what they have to share. Doesn’t that alone make you wonder about the impact you potentially have?

“Look up at the stars and not down at your fet. Try to make snse of what you see, and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious.” – Stephen Hawking

How do you build character? You focus on one characteristic a week. Often when people go through challenging times in their life they are referred to as character building opportunities. We strive to help you build your character on a weekly basis so that when you go through challenging times, as we all do, you will be better equipped emotionally and mentally to tackle and cope with what life throws at you. By joining our tribe you will not only contribute by creating the world you want to live in – you will inspire others to do the same. Be the change you want to see in the world. Make a difference.

How to practice the ‘Character Of The Week’ (5 mins a day max.):

  • Every morning: 1) Read the card; 2) Reflect on what the card is saying to you right now; 3) Have a great day by trusting that this characteristic will come to mind at the right time during your day
  • Every evening: 1) Reflect whether, when and how you strengthened this characteristic today; 2) if you did strengthen it be proud of who you are; if you didn’t strengthen that characteristic what would do differently next time if you got the opportunity.
  • Life is all about living and learning – and taking action – enjoy!
