Navy SEALs have a saying.
You may find it helpful.
When something sucks, they look at each other and say:
"FULL BENEFIT"
It’s an instant mindset shift.
• Hiking and it starts pouring rain?
• Driving and your car breaks down?
• Working on a project and lost a draft?
FULL BENEFIT.

LESSON: Adversity is an opportunity
The message is simple.
Every adversity is an opportunity.
• To grow
• To learn
• To evolve
• To get stronger
• To become better
These moments forge us if we let them.
The next time you're facing something hard, welcome it.
Work through the process.
Learn the lessons.
Reap the full benefit.

If it's worth it, it's worth your time, commitment, energy, sacrifice & focus.
If it's worth it, then it's worth fighting the good fight.
You just have to decide WHAT IS WORTH IT.

Positive leaders.....
-Small ego, big mission.
-We before me.
-A lot of love and accountability.
-A lot of grace and truth.
-Demanding but not demeaning.
-Loving but not enabling.
-Shout praise. Whisper criticism.
-High standards, low tolerance for excuses.
Treat people right. Appreciate them, encourage them, support them and make them feel like they matter (because they do). Do this at home, at work, at school, at the store, etc. Do this with people you know and people you don't. Try your best every day to make someone else's day.

Independent reading is not about a level; it’s not about a certain number of minutes. Independent reading is that reading we do that helps us develop independent thoughts - not thoughts directed by anyone else. #g2great
