Openness
- Most are either:
- Stoics – feelings and burdens are locked away deep inside of them.
- Cathartics – those who dump their feelings on anybody who will listen
- Jesus practiced complete openness without making others responsible for his feelings.
- Jesus leaned on his friends, but he did not dump on them.
- Premeditated openness is a key to fostering deep, meaningful relationships
Deliberation
- Too many of us would be unwilling to persevere through a long and difficult decision-making process.
- We must be willing to put in whatever effort is required to reach the best decision.
