MOTIVATE

I have been continually reminded that not everyone views life, events, and circumstances the way that I do. How you see things is different from how someone else views them. Sometimes life can feel like a Rorschach test of mysterious inkblot images with dozens, if not hundreds, of perceived meanings. And perception is multiplied when life’s circumstances are experiencing extreme pressure and challenges like our current social climate.

This reminds me of an illustration:[1]

• When you put a carrot in boiling hot water, what happens? It softens, deforms, and weakens.
  • Some people are endlessly bothered, beat down, and defeated by what happens to them.
• When you put an egg in boiling hot water, what happens? The inside hardens.
  • Some people become calloused and closed off to receiving help or love from others.
• When you put a coffee bean in boiling hot water, what happens? Magic! 😊 It transforms…
