We begin the week by challenging the idea that strength is built during a crisis. Just as you wouldn't wait for an emergency to start going to the gym, the capacity to handle life's stresses must be cultivated during "the regular day" rather than in moments of extreme joy or hardship.

Key Highlights:

• The Crisis Assumption: A crisis assumes you already have the capacity to respond; it is the wrong time to try and build it.
• The Mundane Middle: Real Masonic practice happens in the ordinary moments of life, preparing you for the extremes.
• Cultivating Resilience: Resilience is the ability to tolerate, endure, and thrive across a broader range of everyday life without being pulled off center.
• Today’s Reflection: If you find yourself "flying off the handle" at small things, recognize it as an opportunity to begin the work of building resilience.
