COT: Try to have a high tolerance for hard things. Sometimes we need to use a crutch to get through them the first time, but then it gets easier. Today was my first Q. That was a hard thing for me. But I used a crutch — a script — to help me through. Now I’ve done it. Next time won’t be as hard.

COT:

Shedding these Burdens, opening up our Vulnerability. Hearing this openness in recent CoT, shows how close this Brotherhood is.
Vulnerability is a characteristic trait of great leaders. Great Leaders recognize the importance of bringing vulnerability to work because it’s the foundation for Open & Nonjudgmental communication.

“If all were perfect, what should we have to suffer from others for God’s sake? But God has so ordained, that we may learn to bear with one another’s burdens, for there is no man without fault, no man without burden, no man sufficient to himself nor wise enough. Hence we must support one another, console one another, mutually help, counsel, and advise, for the measure of every man’s virtue is best revealed in time of adversity — adversity that does not weaken a man but rather shows what he is.”
― Thomas à Kempis, The Imitation of Christ
