This term, we continue to explore our school value of Courage. At present, we are undertaking perhaps the greatest work of all – the work on ourselves. This is why we reflect on our school values and seek practical exercises that support this inner development. A wonderful place to begin is by becoming still and asking ourselves: “Why do I feel the way I do?” Whether the feeling is pleasant or difficult, understanding its source helps us step back from the emotion and see it more clearly. This kind of honest reflection is our most powerful tool against old habits that no longer serve us.
“The unexamined life is not worth living. Know thyself – for this is the beginning of all wisdom. When we understand ourselves, we gain the courage to change what needs changing.” – Socrates
