Seasonal depression seems fake until it’s above 40° and sunny in February and it feels like a choir of angels is singing as you walk up to the gates of heaven

Javier, our CEO, hopes your holiday break was everything you needed it to be. It is understandable if you need a bit more time to get reacclimated this morning. He hopes 2026 brings you love, happiness, and plenty of good dogs. He is comfortable handling that last one ❤️

If you live in one of these states you accept a compliment by saying
“Thank you, I got it on sale”
Or
“Thanks, it has pockets!”

If you see a Midwesterner open their window leave them be. We are in the 10 day period where you can have your window open and not have the heat/ac running

Mentally tough people aren’t necessarily more talented or skilled than other people. Mentally tough people just tend to be more consistent, persistent, and resilient.

[Jamy Bechler @CoachBechler]

Good reminder for us all today.

Midwesterners are fundamentally better people when it’s 50° and sunny in February

Did I really go to extra school in order to purposefully have a job that requires homework for the rest of my life?

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

May we learn to live every day, every moment, every action with our inner gaze turned to Jesus, in all our joys and sorrows, satisfactions and problems. Let us live everything in the presence and with the grace of Jesus, the Lord, in gratitude and hope. #TeDeum

PARENTS: One day, our kids will be finished playing sports and they will be adults raising their own kids. The best thing that we can do now is to teach them how to be good, happy people so they can, in turn, one day raise good, happy people.

Growing up in the Midwest is understanding there’s a 50/50 chance your opening Thanksgiving leftovers instead of butter

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Michael Jordan said, “I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”

Maya Angelou said, “I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it.”

Resilience is not about avoiding challenges.

Resilience is about being able to overcome the unexpected.

Resilience is the foundation for growth.

Challenges are inevitable. It is about being able to bounce back stronger and wiser from setbacks.
✅Resilience helps you face tough situations
✅Resilience helps you learn
✅Resilience helps you grow

8 lessons from the most resilient people:
1. The most resilient people cultivate resilience over time (they don’t get lucky)
It's a skill you can build over time using optimism, a growth mindset, acceptance, hard work, consistency, and patience. When you build habits and a system that builds resilience, success is inevitable.

2. Accept that sh** happens
In life, there will always be pain. Understand that life is suffering as the Buddha once said. This stops you from feeling discriminated against and helps you combat that feeling of "Why me?" Instead, think, "Why not me?"

3. Choose where to focus your attention
The old saying is "Control what you can control," and this starts with where you focus your attention. Our minds are wired for the negative. We always remember the negative emotions & events, not the positive. Be present. Be self-aware.

4. Don’t let the 3 P's get into your mindset
Personalize - Belief that you are at fault for everything.
Pervasive - Belief that an event will affect other areas of your life.
Permanent - Belief that an event will be forever By removing these, you are taking a logical approach to your challenges.

5. Tune into the good and choose to live purposefully
Go on a benefit-finding search. The Army “hunts for the good stuff.” Spend time each day remembering what you're grateful for. Gratitude widens your mindset and presents you with feelings of abundance rather than scarcity.

6. Ask yourself - is this helping me or harming me?
As you start to think about focusing your energy, you will deepen your self-awareness. By asking this, you choose to respond instead of react. You are being proactive in your approach to regulating your emotions and feelings.

7. Combat Unhealthy Beliefs About Yourself
Don't let your mind wander or unhealthy beliefs about yourself fester. Have good mental habits and self-awareness to see challenges and adversity for what they are. The ability to combat unhealthy beliefs takes patience and consistency.

8. You need to have the courage to believe that change is possible
The ability to have hope gives you a sense of control and power versus a feeling of powerlessness. Change is constant in life - it is your choice whether to improve and grow with the changes.
