A Week of Looking Inward: Day 2

One question posted each day this week for you to ponder in your own journal, on a walk, on your yoga mat, or over at our 7 Questions Facebook page.

Today’s prompt comes to you from artist, writer and creator of museful things Ken Robert

Question:  In what way have I been living in the shadows in 2011? How might my life change if I came out into the light in 2012?  What strengths could I discover and share if I gave up hiding my weaknesses?

Sometimes we stay hidden, fearful that others might see our wounds and blemishes. We think we’re the only ones who bear them.  But I find that when I expose my weaknesses, I give others permission to expose theirs, too. There, beneath the light and in between the blemishes, we find we have strengths we never noticed before. Hiding becomes far less appealing and we’re drawn to living instead.  In 2011, what were you hiding all year? What could you do to stop hiding in 2012? What treasures will you find when you step out into the light?

P.S. Tomorrow my program TeachNow becomes available again. No hurry to register, you have until January 18th but if you want to get any of the limited goodies I’ve leaned on my friends to give away when you register, please go get on this list today. Thanks!
