If you only share the good and never reveal the bad, no one will really know you.
Our son said the other night in the pool, “Nothing ever bothers you”.
“Finally”, i thought to myself, “He’s seeing the consistency in my behavior”.
He didn’t say, “Not much bothers you”.
Or, “You hardly ever get upset or angry”.
He said, “Never”.
My advice to you:
Go through life assuming everyone has had it at least as bad as you.
Use this knowledge to inspire yourself to understand that those who live vibrantly, are going through the same hardships as you.

What a great legacy to place in your son’s heart!
Thank you Bob. Just yesterday, during the second day of a two-day leadership retreat i was leading, i reminded the audience that “everyone is going through a hell no one else knows about”.
i continued the thought with, “You either recently finished going through hell, are in some sort of hell now, or you are about to go through some type of hell.”
Everyday, preach the Gospel, and if necessary, use words. (Saint Francis, i believe)
Thank you – lots of takeaways in those few lines!!
Bob, you’re welcome. It’s what i’ve been called to do. 🙂
