“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”
-Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
How do the words above resonate with you?
Pause here for a moment and free yourself from distractions:
Take a deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... calm your mind and be present...
I am sure we agree that present times have challenged us all as well as introduced controversy in some unexpected areas. Yet, here we are, survivors, moving on the best way we can, under the circumstances, and remaining hopeful better is coming...
Over the past month what has been your greatest challenge?
... think about that for a moment, spend some time here...
A few examples: finances, balancing work/family, adjusting to working from home, anxiety about a new school year, the unknown yet anticipated changes to just about everything...
How have you managed so far?
...what has helped, resources, your support system... don’t sell yourself short...
What controversial issue surfaced over the past month that surprised you?
A few examples to consider: opening the economy, returning to work, returning to school, the virtual world, cyber security...
How will the above impact you and your family?
Think about that for a moment...
I challenge you all to trust yourself, and don’t lose hope. So far you survived every challenge which is leaving you better prepared for what’s ahead.
“A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval.”
-Mark Twain
How will you make this day better than it was yesterday?
...what are you willing to do..?
It starts with YOU!
Don’t miss your opportunity! Be intentional, encourage others to do the same and watch what happens.
You got this!
Coach Tavia
