The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate action of its members.

You only learn from people who have different ideas than you. And if you just seek a constant stream of confirmation about what you already believe, about what you already think you know, you are not stretching yourself. You are not learning. It's like going to the gym and lifting weights that you know you can already lift. You're never going to get stronger. You're never going to get in better shape. You're never going to get more fit. You're just going to become this echo chamber of opinions that don't go anywhere. ~ John Delony // Navigating Political Discourse & Engaging Different Worldviews // The Dr. John Delony Show

Time doesn't heal all wounds. It's what we plant in the soil of time that determines whether we are headed toward healing or toward bitterness.

Ask yourself about the kind of life you want: What would you do day to day, and with whom, and where? Consider the life you have. Do one thing today, however small, to close the gap between the two.

Bad things are always happening loudly: the injury, the flat tire, the mistake that gets you criticized. Everybody talks about the moments that make things a hassle.
Good things are always happening quietly: the completed workout, the healthy meal, the ten minutes of writing. Nobody talks about the little moments that add up.
What good things have you done quietly today?
