I spent a lot of time this summer reflecting on the past few years. Although things have not turned out as I might have liked, I’ve decided I need to see these as learning experiences instead of setbacks.
As educators and professionals we cannot focus on the “fails” or negatives. We need to see them as growth opportunities. In what areas can we improve? Where can we make a bigger impact? What have we learned?
It is a choice to allow the negative to build, gnaw at our guts, consume our thoughts, or we can choose to be resilient.
I choose resiliency.
I choose to take action instead of staying stagnant.
I choose to allow myself to let go and move on from things that aren’t beneficial to me personally or professionally.
I choose to continue to connect with others who support and encourage me.
I choose to take risks and try new things.
I choose to reach out to others who will help me on my journey.
I choose to continue to dream and set goals.
I choose to encourage and support others in their journey.
I choose to grow and learn from others in as many ways as possible.
I choose to stay determined, passionate and persevere.
I choose resiliency.
Choosing to be resilient is choosing to live life to the fullest, regardless of the ups and downs--KUDOS TO YOU!!
