A quote I’m pondering

It’s not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.

Epictetus

An insight from conversation

Values are powerful tools. They guide us in not just what we do, but also how we do it. However, they can be overplayed.

Justice becomes judge.

Honesty becomes unkindness.

Gratitude becomes subservience. (I wrote about this in The Pedestal Effect – An open letter to my mentors.)

An action I’m taking

I deleted the Gmail app from my phone last week. It’s created friction to checking email and raised my awareness of just how often I was doing that. I already feel better.

Is there one of these that really stood out for you? I’d love to hear your thoughts or suggestions whether that’s a favourite quote or something else.

I hope you have a great week ahead.

With love,

Toby
