JANUARY 26
REFLECTION FOR TODAY
Too often we have been hesitant to express ourselves. Fearing rejection, our
own or another’s, we withdrew. The more we closed off, the more lonely and
fearful we became. Before we were willing to risk sharing ourselves, many of us
needed to hear over and over again that expressing our feelings is a sign of
being healthy. When we are finally able to tell someone what we are feeling, we
experience relief and often jubilation. Someone’s acceptance gives us the
courage to risk once again.
MEDITATION FOR TODAY
May I be willing to risk sharing who I am with someone today.
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Only through self-disclosure do we discover the beauty of self.
