Good morning, everybody. Luke Wentland here. Happy Tuesday. We like to call it Taco Tuesday in the Wentland family house. Hope you all had a restful, amazing Monday night of sleep and we're jumping into another great Tuesday. That's for darn sure. Hope you're having a good one, good start. But just wanted to touch about this thing about grace and humility and Why I think grace and gratitude is just like, grace and gratitude are obviously two very different things, but from a grace-based perspective, what can we learn from that in giving somebody grace?
If somebody makes mistakes, if somebody misses, if somebody, whatever, whether it's at your organization, your work, your home, what happens? What do you do? What's your first instinct and reaction when someone makes a mistake? Is it to light them up? Is it to argue with them? Is it to get frustrated by them? Or is it to say maybe, you know what, I'm going to offer grace here. I'm going to say, you know, there's probably something deeper going on that maybe I don't know about and I'm going to lean into and I'm going to learn about and I'm going to ask questions.
So my number one question usually if something's not going well at work or a boardroom or advisory board level, whatever that might be, my very first question is usually always like, are you okay? Is everything okay? I encourage you to start flipping switches in your brain of behavior. A lot of people are like, a lot of people have consistently said to me, like, one of your biggest strengths is your heart. And you offer a lot of like, grace for human beings. And I'm like, We should. We should offer grace to people.
We should figure out ways to progress forward through all of our abnormalities and imperfections that exist as human beings. So again, I really, really encourage you to the very first instinct where you're feeling frustration, where you're feeling discontent, or you're feeling something, to lean in and say, I'm hammering this with grace first. I'm gonna offer that. I'm gonna give that. I'm gonna respect that. I'm going to learn from it. I'm going to whatever it might be. Try that first before you raise your voice, before you get angry, before you get frustrated, before you get any of those things.
Lean in that way first. Okay, so Junk Food Junkie says, good taco Tuesday, Luke. Yes, I show them what they did wrong and how to correct so it doesn't happen again in the future. Show the compassion while teaching them. That's exactly right. That's called grace, Junk Food Junkie. Thanks for offering that. All right, you all have an amazing Taco Tuesday. Enjoy the time with the fam. For any of those individuals that are old school rockers from the 90s, I'm going to Smashing Pumpkins concert tonight.
Really excited about that. So you all have a great day. Thanks for joining in. Take care now.
