As we come up on the end of the semester, some of us might be feeling the sting of unaccomplished goals. I saw this Bruce Lee quote the other day and it made me re-conceptualize what goals are (or can be). #motivationmonday

Today's #MotivationMonday is less about "crossing finish lines with all the energy you have," and more about what we do when we've hit a wall and feel like quitting. "Rest" is one of the best and most under utilized tools we have in our toolkit. If you've hit a wall, take a rest.

Today's Motivational Monday is about how sometimes we have to make a leap of faith into the unknown to face the challenges that await us. We wish everyone in the MEC and at UT a great new semester. We're confident you'll rise to the challenges awaiting you.

Congrats Class of 2021! Visit our website utmec.org to check out our virtual celebrations online. We're so proud of you. Know that you'll always be part of our UT MEC fam!
