'Too much eagerness to discharge an obligation is a form of ingratitude'- Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Praemeditatio Malorum

“What is quite unlooked for is more crushing in its effect, and unexpectedness adds to the weight of a disaster. This is a reason for ensuring that nothing ever takes us by surprise. We should project our thoughts ahead of us at every turn and have in mind every possible eventuality instead of only the usual course of events…

Rehearse them in your mind: exile, torture, war, shipwreck. All the terms of our human lot should be before our eyes.”

—Lucius Annaeus Seneca

25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

Gospel According to St Matthew Ch.6 Vs. 25-26 KJV

'Want to be happy? Be grateful?'

Growth Mindset by Carol Dweck (animated book summary) - Growth Mindset and Fixed Mindset

# data[].attributes.body
We aspire to have a "Growth Mindset" as individuals and as a community. Carol Dweck came up with the term to describe people who put in effort, try new things and learn through failure as well as success. We believe that as a church we are a community of people trying to be more like Jesus. This doesn't come easy to us but with a growth mindset we can all grow and learn.

Scholars are deeply gratified when their ideas catch on. And they are even more gratified when their ideas make a difference - improving motivation, innovation, or productivity, for example. But popularity has a price: People sometimes distort ideas and therefore fail to reap their benefits. This has started to happen with my research on "growth" versus "fixed" mindsets among individuals and within organizations.
