JD – Life shrinks or expands according to one’s courage. – Anias Nin

MS – Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest. -Ecclesiastes 9:10

EB* – I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it. – Pablo Picasso

JW – That was really nice of you Dad. – Zach Warmbir

One of the interesting side effects of our fast moving technology and society is that we seem to have less tolerance for doing it wrong.

We seem to have less tolerance for mistakes and for growth. Both with ourselves and with others.

Since we can only control ourselves, I would suggest we adopt the attitude from the quote from Picasso.

Be patient with yourself as you do that which you cannot do today. It’s how you will learn and grow for tomorrow.

If you are comfortable and things feel under control, you likely aren’t growing.

We should be working at that fuzzy line between that which we know and that which we do not.

If things are under control, we need to stretch.

If things are totally out of control, we need to come back a little closer to home (No brain surgery attempts before medical school!).

Make it a great day.
