When our computers get bogged down and unmanageable, we know to hit a reset button to simply start over. Wouldn’t a reset button be great in life?

New years is that opportunity for many.  Perhaps you read about the giant shredder that they set up for “Good Riddance Day” in New York City’s Times Square.  People could bring any bad memories they wanted to shred, to start fresh in 2014.

That’s small scale, though. We know it would be complicated, with all our responsibilities and routines to consider, but imagine the freedom and refreshment of a new start in life! What would you do differently? What would you pay more attention to, and what would you ignore? How would you avoid getting bogged down and broken again?

Question: If you could reset something, or everything in life, what would it be?  What’s stopping you?

Monday - A New Idea - Judgement

Sermon on the Mount

Have you ever felt judged? According to Psychology Science magazine, it takes just a 10th of a second for us to make snap judgements about character, trust, and competence based on visual first impressions. When you first heard Rob Ford was accused of using crack cocaine, how did you react? Many reacted with judgement, having already decided he was "that kind of person". But according to a poll of people's support for potential mayoral candidates for the next election, 27% still support him, and that did not change with the most recent allegations. This has a lot to do with prejudices one way or the other. We make judgements all the time. Is that good, or bad? Question: How do you react to the idea of judgement? Is it ever okay for someone to judge another? Why or why not?
