It's Thursday. Things are winding down. What are your wins and challenges for the week?

It is quite easy to focus on all the things we need to improve, but sometimes it is good to focus on what we have done well. What has been one rewarding moment you have had either as a parent or educator? What did you learn from this?

Who are you surrounded by? What type of goals to they have? Are their goals supported by values? Let's share what we are doing so others can perhaps see something they haven't seen yet. What types of goals are they, and what values support those goals?

Could perseverance be a double edged sword? If we are persevering in objectives that we are not fully committed to (other people's objectives) is this healthy? Therefore, does that mean we need to be extremely clear on what OUR purpose/objective in life is? Therefore, does that mean we really need to sit down and ask ourselves some hard questions about what our purpose/objective is, rather than just go where our feeling/desire in the moment tells us to go? What does Perseverance mean to you?

So, what do you think? Shall we leave our minds untended like an open field, or shall we cut, water and fertilize them? What are the consequences of leaving our minds untended?
