Five Truths About People

- Strengthening weakness is a bad investment of time and energy. Instead, invest in strengthening strengths and delegating weaknesses to someone whose strength is your weakness.
- You don’t support people by lowering your standards or making it easier for them. You support people by being in their corner in tough times.
- Tough conversations, if done effectively, will strengthen relationships.
- Life is one indivisible whole. Any area in your life that is in shambles will impact every area of your life. And improving any area in your life will also improve every area in your life.
