When life knocks the wind out of you, it helps to remember you’re not breathing alone. Somewhere, thousands are gasping through the same storm. Hold them in mind. Put on the mind of Christ — the one who would nod at the Gospel of Mary — and breathe in all of it, theirs and yours. Then breathe out blessings like it’s your only job. Pain in, love out. That’s how the script gets rewritten.
this is exactly what I am addressing right now Joe. Great stuff! If you’ve not read the book “Lead with And” by Tim Arnold, I highly recommend it. He’s a great writer on leadership and captures really well the need to balance healthy tension; that it is not about this or that; it’s about accepting this AND addressing that.

I've walked that path before.... Brutal! Wish I had your advice and voice whispering in my ear...
Very helpful.
