The Subtle Conformity of Goodness
For most of my life, I was one of the "good guys" praised by family and friends. Now that I've lost everything they were so proud of in me, I am not considered much. Not even my accumulated years of goodness count at this stage.
Self-Care Is Never Selfish
Taking care of ourselves is an intentional act of good stewardship. We are the only gift we have to offer other people. Self-care gives others permission to do the same without feeling guilty. The Bible describes our bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit. We need to look after that temple.
Feeling the Heat
Leadership work is a performance and we are like the drums. If we are hard and unprepared we may break when the beating starts. To prepare us ‒ we go through the fire process. We are warmed up, stretched out and made ready for our beating. As the Bible says, we go through the refiner’s fire.
Listen to the Dissenters
Despite the team’s initial desire to keep the positive momentum, avoid further anxiety and move on, the dissenting voice forced us to slow down. It turned out to be a gift as we got to grips with heartfelt issues.
