Welcome to Sunday Journal, a chance to start your week out with short, quiet reflections and advice for life.
This effort started with a handwritten journal I keep for each of my children, designed to give them a sense of how to become the best version of themselves. If you find this valuable, please share it with others.
Each edition contains three sections: reflections to put into practice, an inspirational quote, and an image to contemplate.
This week: a reminder to not let ourselves fall into despair when things seem insurmountable.
Reflection
Every day, it seems like there is something in the news to distract us and throw us into a swirling cauldron of anger or hopelessness — sensational headlines and outrageous behavior designed to hook us emotionally. It’s a lot.
If anything, such Horrible Things ought to remind us what truly matters and what we can focus on instead.
