THE DAILY SPARK

Another View

When you see someone stressed, acting out or demonstrating bad behavior, what if you could view this from a different lens:

This person is not giving me a hard time, they are having a hard time!

Insight from a recent Ezra Klein Show podcast

REFLECTION:

  • Is there someone you are struggling with that you could have shift how you see them?Are they having a hard time?
  • With a change of view, how can you approach that relationship differently?

KNOWING THE DIFFERENCE

There is a difference between giving up and knowing when you have had enough!

REFLECTION: 

  • Is there a situation/relationship you are giving up on?  Is it too soon?
  • Is there a situation or relationship you have tolerated for too long and have had enough? 
  • Discern and take appropriate action. 

LADDER LEANING

If the ladder is not leaning against the right wall, every step you take just gets you to the wrong place faster.

Quote by Stephen R. Covey

REFLECTION:

  • Where is your ladder leaning?
  • Does it need to be moved? Repositioned? Removed?
