Short reading. Take responsibility for only your own attitudes and actions.

Let’s extend it a little further. Not just noting opportunities to practice integrity, but actually being grateful for them. Essentially, this means thanking the universe for crummy circumstances. Because when else are you growing or learning?

On looking for opportunities to learn from crummy situations. Going back to week 1, trust the process. I discuss a work-related difficulty that got easier as I stick with it, and ultimately let me succeed and work with integrity.

Just the reading today.

Just a reading today.

On integrity, what it means and how it is a distinct concept from honesty. Examples of practicing integrity in work and personal spheres.

Not feeling too chatty today. Had a great Father’s Day sushi feast, thought about some home remodeling and getting a new tractor.

Summing up this week with a prayer to have the ability to recognize the lessons in the messiness of life.

Living by your values is the solution to most problems. Have gratitude for the process and the lessons you are learning, even if you don’t know what they are yet. My value of honesty is being applied this week and I discuss it briefly.

Today’s reading is about getting into the habit of looking for the lesson in our current struggle. Actively asking “What can I learn from this?” I’m listening to Gimlet’s “Scaredy Cats” podcast, and we had a horse die last night.
