"Be proud of every scar on your heart; each one holds a lifetime's worth of lessons." (Wallace Stegner)
I found this little family on the canal bank at Carnforth. The mother duck looked, understandably, very proud of her achievement. Sometimes though, it's hard to see our achievements, and much easier to focus on all our mistakes and wrong decisions. We can lean towards the negatives, rather than the positives in our life.
Writing prompts:
- Make a list of all the things you have achieved in the past seven days, no matter how small. Choose one of them and write about it in more detail. How did it make you feel? Why was it important?
- Make a list of five things you have achieved in your life that you are proud of. Choose your biggest achievement and write about it. Pat yourself on the back, and offer yourself congratulations while doing so.
- Make a list of the 'scars on your heart'. Choose one of them and write about why you might be proud of it and what lessons it taught you. Set a timer for seven minutes so you know when to stop.
