truth to slay the idiot within

Proverbs 15:15

“A joyful heart has a continual feast,

but all the days of the afflicted are bad.”

Idiot School November

#25 Be Pessimistic

Every day is a good day to predict all your fears will come true.

We are awesome predictors of what will happen.

So, complain often.

Be dreadful.

Remind others of the bad that could happen.

Ignore the upside potential, talk only about the downside.

Lead with what went wrong, not what went right.

Cast a shadow.

Believe the worst.

Be glass ½ empty.

Criticize rather than create (that requires too much courage).

Trust that people are inspired by and drawn to pessimist.

Shout out to Debby Downers.

“Continual feasts” are over-rated.

Grindforth!

Need Your Help. Opportunity for some of you. I’m looking for three people that would be interested in sermon feedback or a talk / speech feedback. Email or Text me a video or audio link to the sermon, I’ll listen and make notes of my responses and debrief it with you on a 40 minute zoom. No cost to you, other than your zoom time. It’s a pilot project. [email protected] 901-230-4128
