“Doctor, everywhere I touches hurts!”

“Your finger is broken.”

I actually chuckled at that joke from Lou Holtz last evening while being one of five people watching the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl (I kid you not, that was the name).

It’s a good reminder that sometimes we misdiagnose our problems and need someone with a different perspective to set us straight.

Just saying, during this holiday season things will get said.  Some of them will hurt.  Some of them will be true.  Some will be observations from others that are different from our observations.  Pain can be an opportunity to learn.

Easier said than done, but still true.  Just don’t inflict the pain intentionally.
