COT:
Pyramids are built brick by brick. It takes time and work to build, just like anything of value. Your house, your career, your marriage, your children.

Additionally, even after being built, you cannot ignore them. Continued maintenance is required or all of these will crumble.

COT:
Reflecting on Sacrifice:
Jesus taught, “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends..” John 15:13 This verse echoes the selflessness of those who have served and reminds us of Christ’s ultimate sacrifice.

Comfort in Grief:
For those mourning the loss of loved ones, Psalm 34:18 offers solace: “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” In our sorrow, God draws near, providing comfort and peace.

Hope in Eternity:
As we remember the fallen, we find hope in the promise of eternal life. 1 Thessalonians 4:14 assures us: “For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.”

[virtuous-leadership-school] Purposefulness and Impact

AO: virtuous-leadership-school
Q: Otis
PAX: Borg, Spellcheck
FNGs: None
COUNT: 3
Mermaid was spotted in the gloom, celebrating what he calls the BSIA(best sunrise in America) with his daughters. Happy Birthday to her! :birthday:

Everyone was prepared and read the material or listened to the podcast or both.
We opened with prayer and then dove into Q2 The Dedication to Purposefulness.

Socratics:
1. Are we alive for a reason outside of our own existence?
2. What happens to a man who lives primarily for himself?
3. Is there an intrinsic benefit in living for others?

1. Can a man self-initiate positive change in his life?
2. Can a broken man be helped?
3. Can an unbroken man be convinced to risk abandoning his Status Quo?

Discussion points:
-We are created by God to worship Him and love others.
-Living for yourself is idolatry
-This creates shame, selfishness and hate
-Me attitude makes you lonely in a false reality
-We discussed reality at length, how we create our reality by our experiences and influences. This can be very different for people.
-Serving others takes your outside yourself
-Living for others creates selflessness, gratitude and love.
-Self vs Others, Isolation vs Community
-Sur/Ser continuum, Survivor/Servant
-Others are your purpose, the call to action is to move into proximity so that you can have an impact.

Finished up with this question and prayer:
How do you handle feeling lead to disciple(lead out of sad clown) someone when they don’t show motivation or desire to change?
