An Uncomfortable Truth

You’ve probably heard the saying, “people are doing the best they can.” That’s usually not true.

Don’t get me wrong. I have great compassion for working families who are doing everything they can to make ends meet and hold it together.

Those who aren’t giving their best.

What Ifs

Do you ever find yourself falling into the “what if” trap? What if this happens, or what if that happens? This is called worry, and worries are neither helpful or necessary. The things people worry about rarely come true. Do not waste your energy on worry.

Turn the what ifs around. What if everything turns out okay? Things always seem to work out the way they are supposed to…
