Proverbs Daily Reflection – January 12, 2025

This verse is as straightforward as it gets. Loving discipline is loving knowledge. Hating correction leads to folly. Yet, applying this truth in life is not always easy—it takes humility, which I lacked for much of my life. Proverbs 12:1

Proverbs 12:1 “Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid.” (NIV) Reflection and Testimony:This verse is as straightforward as it gets. Loving discipline is loving knowledge. Hating correction leads to folly. Yet, applying this truth in life is not always easy—it takes humility, which I lacked for much of my life. As a child, I struggled with comprehension…

I think my favorite thing about Epic’s creator and cast (and particularly about Jay) is that as the project grows, they’re embracing how fans of this media typically interact with that media. Choosing to do lyric videos, partnering with artists for official animatics (previously reserved for fandom spaces only), doing livestreams, embracing the parts that fans end up liking the most instead of rejecting them. It feels like Jay and all of the cast/creators truly understand their audience and how to promote this project in a way that speaks to that audience. Truly fantastic work.

There is one person who will always be rooting for you, believing in you, and hoping with everything in them that you heal, overcome, and thrive. And that person is the former version of yourself. It's the former version of you that had to be still and didn't speak up pushing the current version of you to be bold and speak out. It's the former version of you that fought with everything in them to push through the pain to get out of bed in the morning that encourages the current version of you to seize and fully live in the blessing of each day. It is the former version of you that endured through the valley always reminding you that you possess the wisdom, strength, and capability to not only embrace the mountain tops but also empower from them. May the person who inspires, encourages, and empowers you most be the person who cannot and will not ever leave you. May your greatest motivator be you.

Higher Perspective 👁‍🗨 Feeling alone on our life path is a temporary illusion. It happens when we're dealing with personal challenges and setbacks. The reality is, we're always connected to something bigger and greater than us, whether it’s the universe or a higher power that's guiding us.

Leonard Cohen said his teacher once told him that the older you get the lonelier you become, and the deeper the love you need. This is because, as we go through life, we tend to over-identify with being the hero of our stories.

This hero isn’t exactly having fun: he’s getting kicked around, humiliated, and disgraced. But if we can let go of identifying with him, we can find our rightful place in the universe, and a love more satisfying than any we’ve ever known.

People constantly throw around the term 'Hero’s Journey' without having any idea what it really means. Everyone from CEOs to wellness-influencers thinks the Hero’s Journey means facing your fears, slaying a dragon, and gaining 25k followers on Instagram. But that’s not the real hero’s journey.

In the real hero’s journey, the dragon slays YOU. Much to your surprise, you couldn’t make that marriage work. Much to your surprise, you turned forty with no kids, no house, and no prospects. Much to your surprise, the world didn’t want the gifts you proudly offered it.

If you are foolish, this is where you will abort the journey and start another, and another, abusing your heart over and over for the brief illusion of winning.

But if you are wise, you will let yourself be shattered, and return to the village, humbled, but with a newfound sense that you don’t have to identify with the part of you that needs to win, needs to be recognized, needs to know. This is where your transcendent life begins.

So embrace humility in everything. Life isn’t out to get you, nor are your struggles your fault.

Every defeat is just an angel, tugging at your sleeve, telling you that you don’t have to keep banging your head against the wall.

Leave that striver there, trapped in his lonely ambitions. Just walk away, and life in its vastness will embrace you.

- Paul Weinfield
