COT: When encountering different people with different opinions and views look inward at your own biases and prejudices before pointing fingers/judging/dismissing the other. You may still arrive at the same place but you’ve been a little more considerate of another view and that’s a start. If more people did this, we might have fewer problems or less severe ones.

COT: The Stockdale Paradox is the seemingly irreconcilable concept that to make it through hard times, you must both accept both the harsh realities of today and maintain optimism in the future. Neither one is sufficient alone, yet faith in both requires just that – faith. This is helping YHC get through some changes in his life, so sharing it with others.

I receive emails from missionaries for our church. One missionary (in Ecuador) wrote me this week:
I was reflecting this week on growth and change. How much I’ve grown since I’ve been here is incredible. Changed too. I realized anything I want to change or how I want to grow is up to me. I have to put in the work. But it’s been very rewarding. And I know the Savior helps us in this process.
