The November Experiment - Five Daily Practices: Compliment yourself, two minutes of gratitude, five minutes of goal focus, compliment or appreciate someone, celebrate you.
On My Mind - Use the Present! Have you ever received a gift and failed to use it? It doesn't invalidate the gift, the gift becomes an unused opportunity. I think COVID and technology have given us some gifts of connection and collaboration, however, some people are so focused on going backwards to "normal" that they fail to realize the fullness of the present right in front of them. I lam reminded of a story I have heard several times in a sermon, where a person was trapped on the roof of their home by flood water and called on God to save them. Someone came by in a boat, and in a helicopter, but the person refused to go because they did not believe that was how God would respond. Had they accepted the gift of the present, they could have escaped the roof!
In life, it is important that we pay attention to the present. Some of the things that can help us grow and live in fullness, may not present themselves as we had anticipated. Nonetheless, if we accept the present and use it, it an help propel us toward our dreams, goals, and fullness. And not just us, but those who we serve and have responsibility for. Use the present - put it to good use!
