I was talking to Derek about goals and improvement one day. I really took to heart all of those family home evenings on goals! That has been a good thing a lot of times, but sometimes I start picking myself apart, trying decide what I don't do well, and all the ways I'm flawed, that maybe a goal could fix. Shockingly, this is depressing! Derek suggested that instead of asking myself what I need to improve, I could ask myself "What is something good I can do?"
I have learned this a few times. I think I even wrote a blog talking about focusing on the good in everyone, including ourselves, and improving on what we do right, and the bad stuff will get pushed out. Maybe I should make a list of the lessons that I have learned over and over, and read it often until the lessons really sink in. It's worth a try!
