#21

Welcome to Weekly Whispers #21

What whisper did you hear from #20?

Have you been making easy choices or hard choices?

Did you stop trying to find the answer and instead face an answer?

What can you do in service of your older self?

Here's what's struck me this week?

Well, I couldn’t in all seriousness publish the 21st Weekly Whisper without referencing whispers, could I?

For those that don’t know the story of 21 Whispers the 2 minute introduction is included with this blog.

Steven Spielberg knew it too - The Dream

So did Oprah - What are the Whispers?

And because I don’t know what your 21st whisper will be I thought about leaving this entire Weekly Whisper blank but I thought that might have been a bit unfair.

So, here’s a suggestion.

Think of a part of your life you might be struggling with, challenged by, pondering on or considering some action on. Nothing too serious but something that’s been playing on your mind more lately.

Scan the quotes below and notice which one jumps out or resonates more with you regarding the challenge or goal you were thinking of.

Remember, think of the challenge or goal you have in mind as you read the quotes.

• We have 2 lives. The second one starts the moment we realise we only have one - Confucius
  
  
• If people knew how hard I have to work to gain my mastery, it wouldn’t seem so wonderful at all - Michelangelo

• We fight into form, not from form - Bruce Lee
  
  
• Words create worlds.

• In golf, as in life, it’s the follow-through the makes the difference - Dr Seuss
  
  
• When I was young I was clever so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I'm seeking to change myself.

• Unhappiness comes in comparison.
  
  
• You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts.

Did something resonate?

Did something jump off the page and speak to you directly?

Did you hover over one particular quote more than others?

I wonder what it’s trying to tell you?

That’s the thing about whispers. Most of us hear them but don’t heed them until they shout. And despite what George Michael sang, life doesn’t deliver careless whispers.

So, what whispers have led you here?

Freedom Fridays - My weekly experiment with time and focus

My intention is to openly share a change I’m making within my life. I’m hoping you can take the lessons learnt and apply them to any change you want to make.

This week was predominantly about starting ugly and finding a place of peace surrounded by chaos!
