Meditations on God

Anger Or Life
The problem with anger is that it feels good for a while and the more justified your anger is, the better it feels.

So you begin looking for new reasons to be angry, for corroboration from others, and for more justification to fuel your anger.

Eventually, anger consume you, blinding you to everything else and shrinking your world down to the size of itself.

By the time you realize your anger no longer serves you, that it stopped feeling good a long time ago, and that it brings you more pain than pleasure, you find that it is all you have left because anger is selfish; it takes everything.

You can keep your anger or your life, but not both.

Lead And Play
Be a leader when you need to be, but also be playful when you are able to be.

The world needs leaders.

It needs people who are accountable, responsible, and who are willing and able to help and guide others into becoming better versions of themselves.

If it is in you to do so, lead the charge, push forward bravely into the future, and take others with you as you go.

Just do not forget to have fun.

Life’s seriousness will find you and there is more than enough to go around, which is why play is so important.

Without play, leadership’s burdens can become unbearable.

Lead fearlessly and relentlessly, and play in exactly the same way.

Becoming Together
Very few people in this life will love you simply for being yourself.

Most people will love you for being who they need you to be.

Relationships come with expectations, responsibilities, and obligations.

Simply being yourself will not be enough; you will also have to give of yourself.

Additionally, you must adapt, grow, and change in order to maintain these relationships.

Who you are may initially connect you to others, but who you become together, through joy and pain, laughter and grief, compromise and struggle, is what will keep your relationships going.

You Are Resilient
Do not underestimate your resilience, but do not overestimate it either.

You are capable of surviving and overcoming much more difficulty and hardship than you can even imagine.

You have the strength and ability to turn adversity even tragedy, into fuel for growth.

However, there is only so much burden one person can or should bear before needing help.

You are not alone and, no matter how it may feel at your absolute lowest, most desperate, and beaten down, there is hope and there is help.

You are not meant to go through life’s difficulties on your own. None of us are. We all need help. We need each other.

Knowing and accepting this fact is not weakness. We are more resilient together than we could ever be alone.

Some Progress
If you cannot accomplish everything you set out to do today, at least do some of it.

It is far better to make small, incremental steps of progress than to make no progress at all.

Do not use an all or nothing attitude as an excuse to do nothing.

Do something, no matter how small, to work toward your goals every day.

When you do not have the time, energy, or resources to do a lot, do a little, but do something.

Over time you will notice that all of your small steps forward have taken you farther than you imagined.

Some progress is infinitely better than perfection when perfectionism keeps you from making progress.
