What These Youth Learned and

What I Am Still Learning From

Being With These Truly Creative Teens

Grateful for these youth who participated in a 6-week Pause Training. To
say they have all had challenging lives thus far is an understatement. One
way they experienced using PAUSE was as a tool for expressing their inner
Inspiration through art and poetry.

When asked, “What does Pause For Inspiration mean to you?”

One young man said,

“It means to be open to correction.”

Another young man shared,

“It’s to receive new solutions.”

A young woman shared,

“It means to shift. To see another way;

to see a person or situation in another way.”

What I Am Still Learning

I learned through the direct experience of being with these curious and incredibly creative teens that we each see life through a different lens and I can’t for one moment think I know what someone else is going through. It’s also not my job to change or fix people; or fix myself, for that matter.

What Can We Do?
We can Pause to Access Inner Wisdom to be shown how to see ourselves and others in ways that are truly helpful; and in our thinking, saying, doing, and being.
