You say I am a king.
For this I was born and
for his I came into the world:
To testify to the
truth.
Everyone who belongs to
the truth listens to my voice.
--John 18:37
We encounter truths in our
lives. Some “truths” are given to us. But some truths are born out of
experience and life—no less real than the laws of physics. Below I provide some
truths that I’ve come to in my life or truths I try to live out:
- The purpose of life is to love and be loved.
- I can only change myself. As I recognize the
circumstances necessary for my change, I can have compassion and only
invite others to their own change.
- Change can be both scary and life-affirming.
- I must accept people as they are and as they
can be.
- Failure to address a problem is sometimes not
a lack of knowledge and will but of imagination.
- When I am angry, I must find the cause within
rather than the cause without.
- Man (and woman) are not meant to be alone. Gen
2:18
- To have strength for my job, I must remember
to nourish myself, identify and do the things that I enjoy about my job,
and remind myself of my core values as to why chose this job.
- To do nothing is a value.
- Be creative. Recreate.
- The best cure for loneliness is solitude.
- I have to have a God otherwise I will create one.
