ReflectandRespond

What tools do you have that help you be well?

The first time I read the quote,“It is well with me only when I have chisel in my hand“, I only thought of it as for the artists. Over time, however, I have looked it from different point of view and it fits so well with the theme of Resilience  because it reminds us of how we can be well when we have the tools in our hand.

In fact, I think every one who is Resilient or is aspiring for Resilience would do well to read this quote, understand it and start applying it to their daily lives.

We have some tools and then can always get more. But first are we aware of what we already have?

Of course telling someone to apply self discovery and actually doing it are two different things. And that’s why you’re about to learn how you can make this part of you life.

Let’s jump in…

“It is well with me only when I have chisel in my hand.”
