02/15/20 A FEW THOUGHTS TO PONDER

I HOPE MY OBSERVATIONS will help you, and help you help others. These are very similar, but each has its own nuance.

* It's OK to not be absolutely perfect, since no one is, except God.

* It's OK to have physical weaknesses, it is a human thing.
Even Jesus (the Man) did.

* Don't beat yourself up (or anyone else) over mundane shortcomings.
Do your best, but don't get stressed.

* When you fail at something, don't "lose it," but learn from it.
Take construction, shake destruction.

* In non-essentials, less than OK is OK.
Don't settle for less. Do your best.
If you're not perfect, you're like all the rest.

* It's OK to NOT BE "world class" athlete or world class anything (in the mundane world).
As they say, make the main thing, the main thing.

* It is OK to fail at some things (non-essentials), some times.
We all do.
Just don't settle for failure.

* If you can't laugh at yourself, you're going to be disappointed, discouraged and disgruntled.

* If you can't take encouragement, instruction and teasing, you need to make some changes.

* Learn to face, admit and rise above your failures with grace and perseverance.
