Weekly Veracity
Walking the path of truth June 20,2022
When we seek to discover the best in others, we somehow bring out the best in ourselves.
-William Arthur Ward
I had an opportunity to live this, this past week. I spent the week in Vegas with my copow team and two days at The Just One Project interviewing their founder and watching their volunteers in action, feeding thousands of hungry families. These people are bringing out the best in themselves, and they brought out the best in me.
This week was a total bust in terms of my usual tasks. I didn’t complete a book because I am reading Dostoevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov and that is not a one week read while traveling (if you want to get anything out of it). I also didn’t write a Daily Truth article for the first time this year. because I was literally working until 11:30pm every night on two other businesses.
I could let this derail me, or I could use it to share a lesson with all of you. While it is critical to have structure and purpose to your days, don’t beat yourself up when things don’t go as planned. You’re one person, it’s ok to go off script from time to time.
Daily Truth
You cannot heal from things you pretend never happened.
What you feed is what grows. Don't feed what you don't want in your life.
This week’s watch
Since I did not complete a book this week, I’m sharing this powerful video I found, after reading an excerpt from The Legend of Two Wolves, on the wall of a roadside bakery in Tensend, Idaho. I was sick and had to use the bathroom (like urgently!). While I was waiting for the restroom, I saw this poster on the wall. It moved me so I looked up the legend when I got home. It is magnificently aligned with the experiences of my week with The Just One Project and where my mind has been all week. I encourage you to take 3 minutes to watch it. It is powerful.
I will be back in full force with a book review and the Daily Truth next week. Don’t forget to join me in our private group if you want to explore the weekly focus with us.
Thank you for reading,
Evie
The first time I heard the story of the two wolves was when we did bible study with our dear friends Kent and Beth and Kent shared this story and used it as an example of the two wolves being the Holy Spirit in us verses our flesh .. the fruit of the Spirit is love joy peace patience kindness gentleness and self control !
