COT:
YHC shared that he has been sad lately. It seems that we are living in a world of extremes and that extremes seem to produce conflict, depression and anxiety.

YHC recently read a book by Jonathan Haidt called The Anxious Generation which is now based on 15 years of conclusive data about the impacts of the digital culture. YHC wished he had read it 15 years ago.

YHC then watched Adolescence on the way back from a trip. It was hard to watch but important and cathartic. Led to text his adult children and apologizing for over protecting them in the wrong areas but under protecting in the right areas. It opened up important dialogue. When you know better you do better. Not too late.

Rewiring the brain is hard but possible and pretty straightforward. One way is F3 as the formula of fitness-fellowship and faith works.

In the words of the great philosopher Kenny Chesney, “Why Can’t We All Just Get Along” and drink some beers and smoke cigars by a fire pit. Appreciate all y’all!
