Wow...the next three chapters in our textbook, The Art of Possibilities, were extremely eye-opening for me! Ever read something that makes you feel self-absorbed, small-minded, and ashamed? That's how I felt when I read about making your life a contribution, instead of focusing on competing and playing games on a daily basis. Committing your life to being a contribution forces you to take the focus off of yourself and on to other people!
I don't think it was a coincidence that yesterday during the church service I attended, the pastor spoke about Jesus's life being focused around pleasing his Father. This is how we should live our lives, focused on pleasing our Father. I think one way of doing this is living our lives to be a contribution to others. I feel like I'm finally getting the message that is so desperately being directed at me.

It is awesome how you have incorporated the reading and your experiences to make a change not only for yourself but for your students as well. It is amazing how much different you feel when you do the same thing yet focus on why is this important for someone else instead of yourself. This might even translate to your new marriage huh? haha
