COT: Wisdom
YHC has been blessed to join Iron Sharpens Iron where we are now discussing Proverbs. All invited. The theme of Proverbs is Godly Wisdom.

That said, our region is filled with many wise HIM.
YHC shared a few examples of COT messages that have been transformative at some level… Trademark from just this past Tuesday and the epidemic of loneliness with F3 as an antidote… FIFA (F3 The Capital) and bogey with their important, transparent, and vulnerable messages on mental health at a time that men suffer at epidemic levels and turn to self medication rather than more effective solutions…and of course Lucius and his message on complaining. YHC did not post on that day but read the COT and sent that diagram to his team at work and family. :partying_face:

Message: Thanks for the thoughtful COTs! Encouragement to scroll through the various backblasts even if you don’t post. Our region is filled with wise and compassionate HIM with diverse life experiences who have important perspectives.

COT:
Challenge you to be generous with compliments. It can change someones complete outlook on the day. There are too many things around us that are pushing us down and compliments are the glue that keep relationships strong and provide healing and strength.

Tell your M shes beautiful, your kids that you love them. Give a coworker a small nod of appreciation for dedication, that their new hair style looks good on them, a complete stranger a compliment on their attire or just smile and tell them to have a great day. We don’t know what hidden hardships or pain that person is going through and your small boost can be the one thing they needed to get through the day.
