Lessons Learned in March 2021

This year I started the discipline of searching for and capturing one nugget of wisdom or a lesson learned each day.
Here are the best ones for March 2021:
- "Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn." - Lionel Richie
- A fear shared with someone who loves you diminishes its power.
- Putting unpleasant tasks off always makes them worse, adds guilt, and disaapoints others. Just get it done!
- Some of your worst, most destructive habits feel more comfortable than change.
- I think God would have us be cautious and reserved in our spending and generous and extravagant in our giving. Too often we reverse this and miss out on real joy.
- Never put something off assuming you'll have more energy later. You probably won't.
- Sometimes you have to chase a distraction for a while before you can concentrate again.
- Doing what you love in service to others rarely feels like work or sacrifice even though you may do both.
- Don't crticize or judge others for how they squander their time. You do it too, just in different ways.
- Bitterness and anger are often thinly veiled by humor.
- When you're truly thankful for something, you steward it well.
- Never pass up a chance to be a source of encouragement for someone else.
- "You have to feel free to go down roads that don't immediately lead anywhere." - Malcolm Gladwell
