COT: Anger abounds. There was a 40 something year old who shot a 30 something year old at the Gold’s Gym in Reston. My daughter and my wife got into an argument and said some hurtful things. Anger oftentimes generates angry words and actions. Instead of expressing your angry feelings or actions, try forgiveness. It is as equally as memorable on the other side but in a positive way.

Failure is part of the learning process you’re not failing so much as learning what doesn’t work. As long as you learn from your less than successful attempts it’s not failure.

Quote from C.S. Lewis:
As long as you are proud, you cannot know God. A proud man is always looking down in things and people. And of course, as long as you are looking down you cannot see something that is always above you.

COT: I was at the grocery store the other week and a woman with a small child walked up to me and asked me if I could help her with groceries. I did and it was a raw moment for me, seeing real need right in front of my face in my community. I try to keep it in mind as a motivator for empathy for those who may be in need – most folks you probably couldn’t tell by looking at them. I’d like to find structured, recurring ways to help others in our community.
