Being a leader in difficult times will test you, strain you, and reveal strengths and weaknesses to yourself. It is important to surround yourself with those who will support you, that you can lean on.

Darth #Trump is a failure across the board. It is thanks to his #weakness that we have seen a rapid increase in dangerous crises, wars with high casualty figures, and the associated international upheavals.
He is a #coward when it comes to taking on the role of a force for order. He is irresponsible, fuelling conflicts only to then act as a diplomat of peace.
He is simply incompetent as President of the #USA, as is his entire cabinet.

A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

There is something irreverent in the speculation, but perhaps the want of power has more to do with the wise resolutions of age than we are always willing to admit. It would be an instructive experiment to make an old man young again and leave him all his savoir. I scarcely think he would put his money in the Savings Bank after all; I doubt if he would be such an admirable son as we are led to expect; and as for his conduct in love, I believe firmly he would out-Herod Herod, and put the whole of his new compeers to the blush.

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
Essay (1878-03), “Crabbed Age and Youth,” Cornhill Magazine, Vol. 37

Quote of the day, 20 May: St. Thérèse

Someone told me I shall fear death. This could very well be true. There isn’t anyone here more mistrustful of her feelings than I am.

I never rely on my own ideas; I know how weak I am. However, I want to rejoice in the feeling that God gives me at the present moment. There will always be time to suffer the opposite.

Saint Thérèse of Lisieux

Yellow Notebook, 20 May

⬦ Reflection Question ⬦
Do I let grace in the present moment carry me—or do I get stuck fearing what may come?

@bert_hubert the sheer absurdity of this case shows how #CloudAct and the #cyberfacism the #USA has ready to roll can be weaponized.

The problem is well known for years! and the fact that #GAFAMs ain't banned & sanctioned by the #EU for conducting illegal #espionage is a sign of #weakness!

The Missing Branch. In era of intense #constitutional combat, #Congress is nowhere to B found. Free theatlantic.com/politics/archi Congress not doing its job & vacuum that its dereliction has created is encouraging #presidential, #judicial overreach. Congress’s #weakness is our deepest #constitutional problem, because it is not a function of one man’s whims won’t pass with one administration’s term.It is hard to imagine any meaningful constitutional renewal in America unless they do.

"A downturn reveals who was merely surviving and who was preparing to thrive" - Futurist Jim Carroll

What happens when you don’t do the things you should be doing when times are good? Those things you didn't do stick out like a sore thumb when times are bad!

Let’s be blunt: recessions expose the cracks that were already there.
And if we’ve spent the last 19 posts building a blueprint for resilience, innovation, momentum, and opportunity — it’s time to talk about the other side of the coin. How recessions make things go wrong, fast, for those who haven't done a great job of aligning to a changing world.

Because not everyone makes it through.

Some organizations stall out. Others collapse entirely. And the reason isn’t usually a lack of potential. It’s paralysis. A lack of organizational agility. A culture that doesn't support fast collaboration. Weakness in the product or service line. Or any other number of systemic, endemic failures that would have been leading the organization towards failure even during the best of times.

In the worst of times, all those weaknesses now becoming glaring, exposed to the harsh light of reality.

Downturns don’t just challenge your organization - they reveal it. They surface complacency. They magnify weak leadership. They stretch brittle cultures. They spotlight outdated assumptions and aging strategies. And most dangerously? They reward indecision with irrelevance!

A recession isn’t a reason to shrink.

It’s a reason to rethink.

And if you want to be ready for what comes next — you’ve got to move while others pause.

Jon Stewart fairly mocked Sen. Chuck Schumer for saying in response to the most recent Trump outrage: "We are sending (Trump) a very strong letter."
Replace Schumer with someone who knows how to seriously oppose Trump.
