TRY THIS: Subdue it. Attend to it. Relationship. Bad habit. Cut it down, but replace what you removed with what belongs. Don't stop at the cut. gilgilbert.net/tanze260629

I don’t care whacha say, that’s funny right thar! “I laid down, Lord, to pray and sleep / And ask if I my soul I may keep. / And if I died before awake, / To ask you, Lord, my soul to take. / But I passed out without a word: Forgive me, Lord; I’m such a turd.”

DANCE WITH THIS: You don’t have to fix the whole thing — or your whole story. Work one section completely. Half-done isn’t stewardship; it’s procrastination gilgilbert.net/tanze260629

TRY THIS: Find one thing in your life you've labeled a waste (a broken relationship, failed project, lost time). Sit with it for ten minutes. Don't fix it. Don't explain it. Just ask: What can this become? Write down whatever comes. gilgilbert.net/tanze260622

ASK YOURSELF: What am I carrying that I've already written off — and have I actually asked what good it still has in it? gilgilbert.net/tanze260622

DANCE WITH THIS: You've been trying to get rid of something. A failure. A season. A version of yourself you're embarrassed by. Stop. The question isn't how to erase it — it's what it can still become. Waste isn't what falls. Waste is what you walk away from before you ask. gilgilbert.net/tanze260622

Nothing goes to waste. Not because everything resolves neatly. But because the question — what can this become? — is an act of faith. gilgilbert.net/tanze260622
