I like staying in my bubble; it’s comfortable here, but there is a danger in doing so, and there are tons of quotes warning you about comfort. I could fill this space with them. These are just two examples: “Comfort is the enemy of progress” – P.T. Barnum, or “Comfort is the worst addiction” – Marcus Aurelius. For me, comfort can lead to a lack of awareness, and I hate when things sneak up on me or I am surprised by something I should have known. I don’t really know how to measure awareness, but this year, I am going to try harder to pay attention to what is going on in others’ lives. More phone calls, less scrolling, or if I do scroll, try to commit details to memory and be intentional about conversations and catching up with others.<\/p>\n

As a reminder, Lunch Box Quotes are notes I include in the kids\u2019 lunches every day. Number 1 gets a text, but 2-4 get a handwritten napkin.<\/p>\n

Quotes: <\/p>\n

1. “If it is humanly possible, consider it to be within your reach.” – Marcus Aurelius<\/p>\n

2. “I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 96% how I react to it.” – Charles R. Swindoll<\/p>\n

3. “It is your reaction to adversity, not the adversity itself, that determines how your life’s story will develop.” – Dieter F. Uchtdorf <\/p>\n
