Ouch!

When is bad news…good? It’s a matter of perspective.

“The car is totaled; but no one was injured.”

“You need surgery; but the cure rate is 100%.”

This blog is primarily about foundations we can build into our lives, to help us weather difficult times and live more fulfilling lives.

But, to build strong foundations, we might need to tear down (rip to shreds, haul off, and permanently dispose of!) some bad ones.

Think of a foundation like a major pillar in a large building. If you work on the top floor, wouldn’t you want each foundational pillar well-engineered and professionally built? Would you listen if someone warned you that one pillar was defective?

I believe that many adults have a seriously defective foundation. I’ve seen it with co-workers, acquaintances, and many others. I’ve also seen the devastation that many have left behind. Typically, these people won’t even “own” this flaw in their own make-up, and instead blame others. While it may be more common with “millennials,” I’ve seen plenty in us “old-timers” as well. Sadly, especially in the past, even in myself (God is still working on me).
