So today I want to talk to you about your thermostat. My thermostat in my home recently was malfunctioning, and the H VAC repairman came to fix it. And it struck me that we all have a thermostat, right? In our homes, but also in our lives and in our minds, that the role of the thermostat is to keep us at a constant rate so that when the temperature goes up, our air conditioner kicks on. When the temperature goes down, it kicks our heater on. That thermostat keeps us at the desired temperature, right? So if you're set at 72 and all of a sudden the heat kicks up as it's about to do, the air conditioner is going to kick on because of that thermostat. So right now, there's a lot of things going on in the world. There's a lot of pressure, there's a lot of heat in the world. And our internal thermostat, the thing that sets us on an even keel, is kicking on. And we got to keep that in mind, that there's a lot of things coming at us, but we got to keep focused on staying the course. We can't let the world circumstances push us this way. That way. We got to stay forward to make sure that our internal thermostat stays constant so that we are able to push through and be the example for the world. So just my thought for today. Is your thermostat broken? It might be a good time to fix it. Make sure that it's staying at a constant temperature in your house and in your life. Just a thought. Go out there every single day and seize your leg.
