Chimp 11th eMail...
Happily walking above the chasm of grief, despair, and depression is within reach. Today, let’s focus on your second big stone…

1—Take a breath, calm your thoughts, then THINK about this quote…
“Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you. Never excuse yourself. Never pity yourself. Be a hard master to yourself-and be lenient to everybody else.” ― Henry Ward Beecher
Or this scripture passage…
“8 We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. 9 We are perplexed, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed.” ~ 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 (NLT)
2—Now, add to your Values List*…
Choose the best word that comes closest to what you value most. Write it on your list…
Camaraderie • Affluence • Boldness • Consistency • Justice
3—Write this in your own hand—large & bold. Fold neatly/wad into a ball. Touch/squeeze it every time you get anxious. Tonight, file away for later.
Today Matters…
Because I matter and my purpose is clear. Healing and resilience are within reach.
AWARENESS: Troubles may seem to last forever but they don’t. Good times seem to be too short but they’re not. It’s just your perception and interpretation that matters. Hold your head high today and resilience naturally follows. A grateful person is confident. A resilient person is strong.
God Bless,
