“People who are prone to procrastination may learn the importance of starting tasks early or of simply starting anywhere they can. The cognitive tension associated with the Zeigarnik effect will help to pull these individuals back to work until the job is completed on time.”

Check
If you have any reason to distrust, follow your gut and check. Do not dismiss it.
Checking is not an element of distrust, it is checking.
Trust, but verify – Russian proverb.
Even in high trust relationships, checking occurs.
In fact, only those who do not care do not check.
I am yet to see a process or relationship that improves without checking.
If you check, you will learn and act.
Maybe your distrust was just a nudge to check. A nudge telling you that you are showing less care. A self-call to get more involved.
Maybe your distrust is confirmed by your check. At least you can act early and rebuild trust, before it bears its fruits of fear and hiding.
Maybe your distrust becomes an opportunity to solidify trust from your check. There is a different kind of confidence that comes from knowing you have checked.
However it might play out, check.

Leave judgment to God
Mark 9:38-40
John said to him, “Teacher, we saw a man casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he was not following us.”
But Jesus said, “Do not forbid him; for no one who does a mighty work in my name will be able soon after to speak evil of me.
For he that is not against us is for us.
Homily:
Denominational christianity did not start today. Somehow, humans have always and will continue to seek exclusivity from a catholic God.
Instead of spending time deciding who is with us or against us based on our doctrines, let us focus more on our journey. The purifying of thoughts, words and deeds is lifelong and the best signal to our belief.
Salvation will not be dependent on the crowd we are in. Each of us will answer for our intentions and actions.
Leave judgment to God. None of us are worthy in our thoughts, words or deeds to pass judgment.
Show mercy to others, just as you are continually shown mercy.
Avoid comparison. If we were created to compare, we would not have been created uniquely.
