Meditations on God

Telling people you are a jerk doesn’t excuse your being a jerk.

You don’t get a pass simply by calling yourself out.

Admitting your behaviors are objectionable doesn’t give you an excuse to continue behaving that way.

Authenticity is alright to a point, but not if it means being an authentically unkind person.

It may be inauthentic to be kind when you don’t feel like it, but it is also good practice.

Practice being the person you can be, not excusing the person you are.

The people around you deserve the best version of you, and you deserve to be that person also.
