The Nuns of Benedictine College have released a statement regarding the Commencement Speech of Harrison Butker.
If any "Christian" men have issues with the Sisters statement go argue with the wall.
Too often, the people we ask for feedback are nice but not kind.
Kind people will tell you things a nice person will not. A kind person will tell you that you have spinach on your teeth. A nice person won’t because it’s uncomfortable.
A kind person will tell us what holds us back, even when it’s uncomfortable. A nice person avoids giving us critical feedback because they’re worried about hurting our feelings.
I try to communicate with my students that…
•If you hang out with 3 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 people, you will be the 4th
•If you hang out with 3 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 people, you will be the 4th
•If you hang out with 3 𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐨𝐭𝐬, you will be the 4th
“Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator. But among those whom I love, I can: all of them make me laugh.”

Navy SEALs have a saying.
You may find it helpful.
When something sucks, they look at each other and say:
"FULL BENEFIT"
It’s an instant mindset shift.
• Hiking and it starts pouring rain?
• Driving and your car breaks down?
• Working on a project and lost a draft?
FULL BENEFIT.

LESSON: Adversity is an opportunity
The message is simple.
Every adversity is an opportunity.
• To grow
• To learn
• To evolve
• To get stronger
• To become better
These moments forge us if we let them.
The next time you're facing something hard, welcome it.
Work through the process.
Learn the lessons.
Reap the full benefit.

When confidence comes from results, you gravitate toward doing easy things. When confidence comes from the ability to figure it out, nothing can stop you.
