ISI – Proverbs 27:17-20
Just as iron sharpens iron, friends sharpen the minds of each other. Take care of a tree, and you will eat its fruit; look after your master, and you will be praised. You see your face in a mirror and your thoughts in the minds of others. Death and the grave are never satisfied, and neither are humans.
MOLESKIN:
Take time to self reflect, check yourself and your daily habits. Are you hiding things from your loved ones, co-workers, or even yourself? Take the time today to deep dive into yourself, reflect and repent (if necessary); change the course and make things right before it goes too far. STOP attempting to fix ourselves with worldly options/solutions, they only leave us wanting more.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I had a quarterly leadership review last week at work. It was a fine meeting but I failed at the leadership improvement aspect. I’ve currently been occupied with supporting my team that I’ve not invested the time to improving as a leader. I’m asking the pax to help hold me accountable for investing time daily into my development. Including reading and take notes on my reading. Also organizing my learning materials to take better advantage of them.
MOLESKIN:
