Recently I’ve written about the value of self-esteem insurance. I think it’s important to access our strengths first.

And, admit your weaknesses second.

Some people admit their weaknesses easily.  Sometimes it’s one of their strengths; for others it’s a weakness.

People who are or are becoming emotionally and spiritually healthy see weaknesses for what they are, challenges. 

People who are not becoming emotionally and spiritually healthy see weaknesses as problems that cause pain they want to avoid, deficits to deny, and shameful secrets to conceal.

You, on the other hand, are still reading.  Congratulations!  You want more for your life than denial and lies.

How to…

How to save a cell phone dropped into slush.

You’re rushing along. You reach your car. In goes your hand, you grab your keys. You pull your hand out and woah! What was that?!?

Splat! Suck! You look down, mortified. Your cell phone lays half-submerged in dirty slush.

No!, you silently scream!

What should you do?

1. Pick it up! Immediately.

If you are reading this right now and haven’t yet removed it from the slush, forget the rest of the steps and start budgeting for your new phone.
