What Kind of Person Do You Want to Be? EP 106

Recently I had the chance to meet up with 2 friends that I seldom get to see in person. We are connected by a common belief in the goodness of humanity and a desire to be people who are choosing love over hate and hope over despair. This past week, after hugs and how are you’s one of made the comment about how hard it is to be hopeful these days. The news is depressing, and the direction things seem to be heading isn’t much better. Then one of them shared this quote “I don’t know what to do, but I do know what kind of person I want to be.” She explained that this wasn’t her original quote but something she’d heard Brian McLaren say. It made me see things with a new perspective. No matter what’s happening around us, we can all decide the kind of person we want to be can’t we? Brian McLaren
