Day 11: Kindness Quotient

I borrow the phrase from Max Lucado. I have been having a very low KQ for the past few days in connection with this specific person. I have been noticing though that when I suggest something, being knowledgeable about certain things because I was ahead of her in the organization, she didn’t follow most of them. She just goes ahead with what she likes doing. So I decided to stop volunteering information and suggestions. They were not welcome anyway.


I really tried to be patient in the past year. Others would attest to it. I knew she felt it because she often turned to me when she needed help. And I did help again and again. And now, I am feeling taken advantage of. What aggravated the situation is that when she asks for information or help, she wants to have it immediately. On the other hand, when we ask her to handle a matter that falls under her responsibility, she keeps us waiting. Often, we wait for days, even a week or two.


So it has been difficult in the last two days. Trying my best to keep my temper in check. I know, I need to increase my KQ. Thank God, it’s the week-end. Time to recharge. To be ready again for next week,

How are you making out this week? It's so frustrating trying to do the right thing.

Lion Chaser Manifesto

Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death. Set God-sized goals. Pursue God-ordained passions. Go after a dream that is destined to fail without divine intervention. Keep asking questions. Keep making mistakes. Keep seeking God. Stop pointing out problems and become part of the solution. Stop repeating the past and start creating the future. Stop playing it safe and start taking risks. Expand your horizons. Accumulate experiences. Enjoy the journey. Find every excuse you can to celebrate everything you can. Live like today is the first day and last day of your life. Don't let what's wrong with you keep you from worshiping what's right with God. Burn sinful bridges. Blaze new trails. Criticize by creating. Worry less about what people think and more about what God thinks. Don't try to be who you're not. Be yourself. Laugh at yourself. Quit holding out. Quit holding back. Quit running away.
