JANUARY'S REFLECTION PROMPTIn January, I will ease the pressure to miraculously transform (myself, my life, a habit etc.). Instead, I will realistically choose to… Real, lasting change seldom happens in an instant. It's the culmination of small, deliberate daily choices. 2 QUOTES WORTH PONDERING1. Japanese writer, Haruki Murakami on the reality of manifestations: "Whatever it is you’re seeking, won’t come in the form you’re expecting." REFLECTION PROMPTS:
