We explore how moments when we "freeze" in life can become powerful opportunities for growth and wisdom when approached with intention and mindfulness.
• Sometimes we freeze due to trauma, stress, or being overwhelmed
• The space between stimulus and response is valuable thinking time
• Ask yourself: "What's the greatest amount of good I can do in the shortest time?"
• Jordan Peterson's advice for moments when you don't know what to do
• The principle of "the earth always wins" - everything requires maintenance
• Stewardship goes beyond maintenance to honor what matters most
• Being authentic and honest builds trust in relationships
• Lying, even with good intentions, depletes your "trust bank account"
• The quality of life is determined by the quality of our connections
• When we improve ourselves, we improve our capacity to serve others
The greatest good you can do may be giving time and effort to the precious people who matter most in your life.
