@Audrius Stankus Welcome to the community Audrius! πŸŽ‰
We all suffer
This seems to be true to me. All humans suffer. Yes, some seem to have terrible sufferings in life, way more than most of us could imagine. But we ALL suffer. (PS, I am borrowing this idea from Tim Atyeo of "Relationship Dynamics" Community here on Skool) For me, it allows me to look at people that I don't get along well with and feel compassion for them. It also makes me feel relieved to find out I am not alone. What does that mean to you, and how does it change how you look at other people?

Suffering is a part of life that's very normal. When I started reading Russian novels in my early 20s, I found out that suffering is a main theme there. Not happiness or sadness, but specifically suffering. And by extension, one of the main themes of their culture in general. I found an interesting approach to suffering, one that's completely accepted. Same like sadness being the opposite extreme of happiness. Sadness is as normal as happiness. Same with the suffering, it's a completely normal part of life. And I've also learned a bit about suffering myself, although I'm definitely not as experienced in it as other people. I've just learned to accept it and not take it to heart. I think that's the best I can do. Regarding outlook on other people, I know we all feel it. We all suffer, more or less. I'm not as hard on others, and I'm not mad if they do something bad. Because there can be so many reasons behind the curtains that we don't see.
Borrowing again from Stephen Covey - VERY POWERFUL QUESTION
Please spend 3 minutes contemplating this question from Covey's book. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. The question is at the beginning of Habit Three - Principles of Personal Management. What one thing could you do (something you aren't doing now) that, if you did it on a regular basis, would make a tremendous positive difference in your personal life? Feel free to share your thoughts about the significance of the question or if you so wish about your response. A nice "light" question for today:)

I will borrow a quote from Hormozi "Good idea. Not now." Good question, not now πŸ˜„ I'll come back to it later today or tomorrow

@Andrew Nelson When reading the post, my initial though was "Is there even something...?" πŸ˜„ But of course there is. Similar to you, for me it's fixing my sleep. Sleep is my nemesis #1 my whole life. I'm basically "fixing" it all the time, because I get into schedule, and I mess it up somehow. Then I start fixing it again πŸ˜‚ Momentum for me takes ~2 weeks to build, and that is nothing compared to fixing sleep. And the difference between being well rested and underslept is really tremendous.

Role models I think really hits the spot for describing the idea of the community. Parenting Role Models. Because "Parenting" is important to have in the name, imo.

@Andrew Nelson I don't know πŸ˜„
When does your personality (Character) grow most?
I found that when I wrote my master's thesis I learned more than I did in the classes I attended. In the classes I soaked up information (most of which is forgotten). With my Master's thesis I had to think, search, adapt, take advice, be calm, work hard, write, re-write, re-write, THINK, persevere, find someone to do the statistics for me etc. Basically develop skills that I could apply later. I feel parenting is similar to the thesis. We can get information and "tips" from Instagram experts who are really good, but it is only by doing, sharing, re-doing, sharing, growing in self skills that we actually CHANGE for the better. That's why I think a community like this for parents and educators is more valuable time spent than flicking through the latest 3 steps to great parenting on IG. What do you think?

To me the answer is simple - it forms during challenges. It's uncomfortable, but challenging environment is necessary for growth. That's why it's good to put yourself in challenging situations even if you don't need to be there.

@Jon Cooke I agree with you here, only thing I would add to that is that the reflection is not about challenges themselves, but your thought process during the challenges. About the thought process before committing actions.
