Head to Heart

, ,

Transferring truth from the head to the heart is one of the shortest routes—but also one of the hardest journeys. Knowledge and belief sit close together, but they are not the same. Knowledge can come and go with the seasons, but belief endures.

There’s a depth to hearing someone say, “I believe in you,” that “I know you’ll do well” never reaches. Belief looks beyond facts and sees something divine. It has the power to reshape families, transform neighborhoods, and influence entire cultures.

The only way to move knowledge toward belief is through testing. When knowledge is shaken, it’s belief that holds the line.

So, what do you believe?

Producing Hope

,

Ancient text tells us: suffering produces perseverance; perseverance builds character; and character leads to hope.

Interestingly, the Greek word for suffer is the same as passion.

We often ask, “What are you passionate about?”

But maybe the better question is: What have you pursued so deeply that you were willing to suffer for it?

Have you?

Suffered to the point of perseverance.

Suffered until your character was shaped.

Suffered long enough to see hope grow, because you realized the struggle was worth it.

I believe anything truly worth doing is hard.

And while we all want hope for the future, the real question is:

Are we willing to endure the sacrifices necessary to make it happen?

Make it Happen

One Good Apple

,

Recently, I had an interesting conversation about the concept of one good apple.

We often focus on the impact of one bad apple in a work culture or relationship and how that can cause all the other apples around the bad one to decay and smell bad. What’s the solution? Remove the bad apple, then all the other apples magically don’t break down over time?

No, the reality is that apples all become bad apples without proper storage, care, and consumption. Getting rid of the bad one is not always the answer. Today, I want you to consider the impact of one good apple.

One act of selflessness, one right decision, or one courageous act can make an impact on all the other apples around you.

Are you that one good apple?
