"We teach best what we most need to learn."
— Richard Bach (Illusions)
Where do you wish to make a difference? This is the question for the week over at Jamie Ridler's blog for Wishcasting Wednesday.
****
As usual, I let the question search for its own answers within myself as I went about my day. And when I would stop to think, 'Yes, where would I like to make a difference?' a series of adages and lines from songs would tumble out on cue. 'Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me' was one. Then there was Michael Jackson's 'Man in the Mirror'. Then Gandhi's words followed: 'We must be the change we wish to see in the world.' I believe all these to be deeply, irrevocably true, and that is largely why my word for 2010 is Self-Love. It's that sense I can only be of true service once I have attended to my own wounds, my own healing. It was no surprise to find that I wasn't the only one with these thoughts, as Lexi of Ellecubed so eloquently expressed in her post today.
