COT:
Thus says the Lord,
“Stand by the ways and see and ask for the ancient paths,
Where the good way is, and walk in it;
And you will find rest for your souls.
But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’
“And I set watchmen over you, saying,
‘Listen to the sound of the trumpet!’
But they said, ‘We will not listen.’
Jeremiah 6:16-17
Listen and look for the old paths, the certain way, and be thankful for the brother who sounds the trumpet to you when going astray.

CoT: Q-Source: The Jester
The Daily Discipline Over The Temptation Of The Flesh That Hinders Acceleration – Every man has his own personal Jester
1. The concept of “The Jester” is a temptation of the flesh that is inconsistent with your values and hinders personal growth and alignment.
2. The recognition that the Jester is a master liar, using lies to draw near and stay close.
3. The five biggest lies the Jester tells: “You Are The Boss Of Me,” “You Are What You Do,” “You Are (relatively) Not That Bad A Guy,” “The Jester And Virtue Can Coexist,” and “You Can’t Live, If Living Is Without Me.”
4. The importance of preparedness to keep the Jester at bay, both for expected and unexpected circumstances.
5. Mindfulness is the key to training our brain from giving into the Jester—treat him as a toddler throwing a fit in a shopping store; that is, recognize his fit as such, sit with him but don’t give in, and wait for it to pass.
6. The more we prepare and practice such mindfulness, the better we get at doing it.

COT: Q has to put dog down today. Old dog that he tried reclamation for 1 year but could never break the habit of biting. Lesson to all of us – be firm in teaching good habits as it might save their life one day. Being accommodating might cause bad habits that could hurt the mentee / pupil later in life. This dog had learned some bad habits earlier in life that could not be broken.
