#Theweekthatwas @ 04/05/2025
An enlightening week had several lessons:
Gratitude is waking up each morning knowing that I've been given another day for a reason and acting on that
Looking at what went wrong isn't the same thing as looking for blame
Planning is more important than the plan itself
Symbolism is not enough to create transformation, it also requires real action
Freedom is being able to be yourself within boundaries that you know are 100% accurate and true
The best way to beat your opponent is to smile in the face of their aggression, injustice or arrogance
Perspective has the power to significantly shift minds and decisions
It is often assumed that the recipient of a well-intentioned good deed is the benefactor when it is, in fact, the contributor who benefits the most
When you truly love someone, you want what's best for them in this worldly life and, more importantly, what's best for their eternal life
Being the bigger person can sometimes seem like a loss but, in the bigger scheme of things, you see the wins
We live more fully when we're able to offload those burdens which are not ours to bare
Placing yourself in spaces where you're not the smartest person in the room, accelerates your growth
As with all skills, there are varying competency levels in being strategic
