Truisms of the moment...
1. Stick to truth even when it's not always pretty, perfect and can easily be skewed.
2. Glance back fondly and then quickly re-focus forward.
3. Don't stop forgiving yourself and others and offer grace even when not reciprocated.
4. You can't change made-up minds in the moment... and there likely will come a time when you don't really mind that you can't.
5. Absolutely play favorites with those who love excellence and embrace positive change... and encourage as many as you can to join the favorites team.
6. Hindsight and side-line-sights often offer distinctly different views in the moment. Real life doesn't come with a challenge call and a rewind button to see the play in motion. So take the perspective, learn from it and keep playing. (my husband would appreciate that sports analogy)
7. It's nice to have folks who absolutely know your character (flaws and all) and still take the option to like you! It just might surprise you who falls into that bucket when push comes to shove.
8. Early embracing of the idea of change doesn't mean everyone will have the strength to push through the work required to actually get there. Change is messy.
9. Lean into people who pray with and for you.
10. Never. Ever. Stop learning.
