COT:
They say that the Good is the enemy of Great. Because if you’re content with being good, you’ll never push to be Great. However, Perfection is less than Good, because it can stop you from even getting started.
I am a recovering Perfectionist. Early in life when something wasn’t right, I would approach the problem with a hammer seeking swift correction. Instead of approaching it like a Scientist and inspecting it with a flashlight. It’s not wrong, it needs work. This has helped bring understanding as a Husband, parent and co-worker. We’re all going to have good days and bad days. Let’s be understanding when someone else isn’t at their best because we know what that’s like ourselves.

Go Forward today Men with Appreciation, Boldness, and Curiosity.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Proverbs 12:18

The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.

Had a friend over this past weekend and the husband said something incredibly insensitive and hurtful to his wife.  Apparently didn’t mean to say it, but once the words come out you cannot put them back.  As leaders / HIM we need to be very intentional about what we say and probably speak less and listen more.

WORD
Today is Independence Day, the day the Declaration of Independence was signed declaring our independence from Great Britain.

The Second Sentence:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness..

Today we remember ALL people and what the Declaration of Independence stands for. Remember the liberty that we enjoy, celebrate equality for all and pursue justice for all people. Including those that may be different from you.

May we all live together remembering what our fore fathers fought for.
