If you’re an adult, your parents don’t get a vote about your life choices or values unless you give it to them.
Your boss, your neighbors, and people on the internet don’t get a vote either.
Stop outsourcing your life to people who are trying to meet their own needs by controlling yours and focus on the one vote that matters.

This is the reality for many around us. Personally, I am lamenting for the racism in our country. And continually asking myself “How well do I see it?” Through my own culture. https://t.co/kiWJHAGzn9
The lack of humility on one side or the other should be your first clue that maybe the person you are staring at isn’t open to thinking again or looking at an issue from a different angle at all. - @markaclark
The sweet spot of worrying about other people's opinions is caring enough to learn from them, but not so much that you conform to them.
It takes humility to rethink your views in the face of disapproval. It takes integrity to put your personal values above social approval.
A mark of an open mind is being more committed to your curiosity than to your convictions.
The goal of learning is not to shield old views against new facts. It's to revise old views to incorporate new facts.
Ideas are possibilities to explore, not certainties to defend.
Here’s a useful overview of the likely scenarios that the world will be facing in the coming months while managing this pandemic. So much depends on our ability to make good decisions going forward along with our ability to remain resilient. https://t.co/uYpP1KfOUs
Lord,
I worry because I forget your wisdom.
I resent because I forget your mercy.
I covet because I forget your beauty.
I sin because I forget your holiness.
I fear because I forget your sovereignty.
You always remember me. Help me to remember you.
Amen...
