Don't forget that we have a teacher in-service on Monday, 10/7. There will be no school for students!

One of the greatest service-learning projects I've seen is Grant Career Center's, "The Grant Give Back!" We have students working on our campus today, many who are on fall break, beautifying our campus & doing difficult, important work. Tip of the cap to these students & GCC!

Your first thought may be negative. That’s okay. It’s natural to have negative thoughts, but you don’t have to listen to or act on them. Own your second thought. Choose the good. Believe the best. The more you do it, the better you get at it. Make your mindset your advantage.

Adversity requires you to answer a question: Will you live your standards or your feelings? It’s easy to let that voice of doubt, fear and insecurity win. Battle it with the voice of confidence, commitment, belief. Own your mindset. ⛈️🦬

Your positivity will be met with negativity. Be positive anyway. Your optimism will be met with pessimism. Be optimistic anyway. Your belief will be met with doubt. Believe anyway. Critics don't change the world. Those who believe do.

Growth takes time. Be patient. Growth takes time. Be confident. Growth takes time. Be persistent. Growth takes time. Be committed. Keep showing up. 🪵🪓

We appreciate you hosting us!

Stop consuming things that make you anxious/stressed/angry/worried and then wonder why you’re anxious/stressed/angry/worried. Consume what stirs up hope, confidence, peace. Consume what makes you better. What you consume is a choice and shapes who you become. Inputs ➡️ Outputs

Perspective is a choice. Attitude is a choice. Focus is a choice. Effort is a choice. Own the way you show up.

Comfort limits potential. Discomfort accelerates growth. Lean in. Do the work.

Bad teams ignore the issues Good teams address the issues Great teams get better and stronger because of the issues.

Want your team to believe more? Then you have to believe in them first. Your belief creates their buy-in.

Most people expect transformation to happen overnight. But awareness isn't action, and action isn't immediate transformation. Change is messy. Growth is slow. Progress looks like failure half the time. Breakthrough comes to those who keep showing up anyway.

If your values are dictated by the behavior of the person across from you, you don’t have values. Live your standard, no matter the circumstances.

It’s easier to complain than change. It’s easier to blame than take ownership. It’s easier to give up than persevere. It’s easier to doubt than believe. But taking the easy path only guarantees you’ll stay stuck in your current circumstances. Do what it takes to get better.

Excellence isn’t about perfection. Excellence is about commitment to the standard.

Incredibly proud of you, Mia!

Don’t get bored with the process. Don’t get bored with the basics. Don’t get bored with small wins. Don’t get bored with progress. Keep showing up. Keep doing the work.

Give oxygen to a fire and it burns bigger and hotter. Starve it of oxygen and it flames out. The same is true for attention and negative people. Focus your attention on those who are bought in, those who are positive, those who are committed to moving things forward.

Comfort limits potential. Discomfort accelerates growth. Lean in. Do the work.
