Today is the beginning of what Environment Canada is predicting will be an extended period of extreme hot temperatures and humidity for our area. In fact this is predicted to be the longest period of such heat and humidity in many years. There will be those who live with such temperature extremes on a regular basis and it will not be anything out of the ordinary. For me, it certainly beats the significant snowfall which happened in Eastern Canada less than a week ago.
I was sorting some papers on my desk and found buried an article titled, “The Keys To Success” written by Dean Hankey which I had printed off on April 9, 2018. Dean wrote about the value and benefit of understanding and being congruent and in alignment with our true value in what we do and how we perceive ourselves. He writes, “Understanding our own value is less a consideration of market value and more a consideration of our own internal value thermostat.”
He goes on to say, “We have to believe (at least at some level anyway) that the temperature can or is actually improving!”
You will never know the value of air conditioning if you live at levels where the temperature is so low you need the furnace on all the time. Allow yourself the right to live at a temperature which will bring out the value of who you are and what you have to offer. Dean writes, “It might be time to reset the thermostat on our value/pricing . . . Then the motors and fans kick in to make the chosen changes . . .”
Why not consider readjusting the thermostat to reflect who you are in Christ, because you really are more than you consider yourself to be in being able to influence and help others be the best version of themselves possible. Don’t let the heat immobilize you! Take action, continue to move forward.
