Polishing
Its time to polish the car again!
I don’t know about you, but cleaning, hoovering and polishing the car is important to me. There’s nothing worse than a dirty car.
In fact this Saturday morning, will be like many before, I’ll be out polishing soon!
It is not hard to notice when a car needs some tlc. This week I have put a few miles on the clock, however after a little bit of effort and polishing, the car will be shining again, just like new.
In a like manner, it got me thinking about how we are all in need of some tlc. However, I realised too that we are all being polished and refined through our experiences in life.
For example, this week through various coaching sessions, workshops I have facilitated, books I am reading and conversations I’ve had, I am acutely aware of the polishing I have received. I am feeling as if some personal rough edges have been polished, smoothed and perhaps, even in some respects (I hope) starting to shine. Like all of us, I’m a work in progress – and the polishing is very helpful! ”
A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials” – Chinese Proverb
How are you being polished?
