Life Is Hard. Here's a Practice to Keep from Making it Unnecessarily Harder
Today, the first in a series of looking at each of the Ten Commandments of Self-Brain Surgery in more detail. The first commandment, just like in medical school, is primum non nocere, First No Harm. Self-Brain Surgeons say it like this: "I will relentlessly refuse to participate in my own demise."
Scripture: Mark 12:30-31, Romans 12:1-2, Psalm 19:14
