COT:
hard skills

Not merely a difficult task. Rather, things that should be running at full speed at all times without thinking. Things that are hard-wired into our routine, into our lives. Hard skills are repped and repeated so many times that they should run in the background flawlessly. These skills are what we must find to be top performers in our lives. A few hard skills that we can focus on are:
– good attitude at all times
– being a good family leader
– pursuit of faith

COT:
Proverbs 17:22 – “A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.”
Ecclesiastes 3:4 – “A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance.”
Life is hard. We walk through various trials and things get very serious. Sometimes we need to take a break and lighten up. So tell some jokes, find something funny to read or watch and just laugh. Its good for your soul.

Dad Joke – My friend was showing me his tool shed and pointed to a ladder. “That’s my stepladder,” he said, “I never knew my real ladder.”
