“As you get older it is harder to have heroes, but it is sort of necessary.”
Ernest Hemingway
“In the central place of every heart there is a recording chamber.  So long as it receives a message of beauty, hope, cheer, and courage – so long are you young.  When the wires are all down and our heart is covered with the snow of pessimism and the ice of cynicism, then, and only then, are you grown old.”  ~Douglas MacArthur

Stress, worry, angst, fear, nervous, anxiety

Stress is a normal part of life, we even have a whole set of hormones in her body, referred to as “stress, hormones.“ Stress can also be paralyzing, demoralizing, and destructive.
There was a time a little more than 20 years ago when I was pretty convinced that my wife, then, my girlfriend, was trying to check out on our relationship. She’s been distancing herself, mostly because she was afraid the commitment we were heading toward, but I didn’t know that. I got to where I was anxiety, twisted up inside all the time. I would constantly check my phone to see if she called or texted. In the midst of that, I found the phone.
“ “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.”
‭‭Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭5‬-‭8‬ ‭ESV‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/59/php.4.5-8.ESV
Our society is currently obsessed with the shortest, quickest tip, or trick to get anything done. The reality is, there are very few, if any healthy ways to quickly deal with anxieties, worries and fears. These take time and practice.
  1. Find something to be grateful for, to rejoice about
  2. Find another one
  3. Don’t take your stress out on others
  4. The Lord is ALWAYS near
  5. Pray thankfully
  6. Tell Him your concerns
  7. His astonishing peace will guard your heart and mind
 
None of that is a quick tip. The principles are incredibly simple, but they’re not fast or easy. These take time, submission, and a willingness to hear from the Lord. It works, but you have to go through the whole process, sometimes over and over. Lean on a brother, talk to someone, post regularly. You are not alone!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Our company looks to hire people that have a curiosity for buildings and how buildings are put together.  Imagine going to a doctor and finding out the doctor doesn’t have a curiosity for how the body works.  I’m not sure I’d want that doctor working on me.

I had an employee one time that was young and new.  We gave her a project to design with wood and she didn’t know the size of a 2×4.  Was a startling revelation that she was designing a building with material she didn’t even understand.

This brings me to the below quote that I just found.
People in organizations need to develop a fascination for what doesn’t work. @kenblanchard #leadership

Just like having curiosity in life, everyone should have a fascination for what doesn’t work.  Having this fascination may lead you down a path where you find a solution.
