#CelebrateMonday
April 30, 2018
The sun is shining! The air is warming! It's a good day to have a good day!
Other days it's really difficult - for different reasons. Some days, I'm just not feeling it. So I have to dig REALLY deep to bring out that celebration. Other days, like today, I'm feeling good, positive, energized - but not focused.
So I decided that today that to #CelebrateMonday I'm just going to be me - and my message is going to be like my brain and my mood - sort of scattered but all positive! Instead of one focused message, I'm going to pass on a few positive mini-messages!
Often when we think of great leaders, we think of their awesome legacies. I'm thinking that this is what I want my legacy to be: that if you hang around me for any period of time, I'll brainwash you into believing you can achieve anything!
On some days, those things are probably true. But my hope is that most days your reason for being here is similar to mine: Passion.
The passion for the work and for students is the energy I live on every single day! This work that we do - while significantly challenging and sometimes heavy and sad - is also incredibly motivating and exciting! If we can immerse ourselves in that passion that we have - let it surround us and fill us up every single day - we can harness that power and let it fuel us each day!
But really all it takes is YOU. It takes you taking an extra moment to seize (and unleash!) the power to change a student's life. It doesn't have to be a monumental action! It just needs to come from a place of compassion. We can do this! As a team, we can impact the life of every single child who passes through the doors of the Wentzville School District!
To #CelebrateMonday today - be you! Celebrate the small things that make you smile and find ways to spread small things to make others smile! Find your passion and ride that wave! And embrace your potential to be a brainwasher - because how fun is it to make that a positive thing??
Be you! And make this the best Monday of the week!
Cheers!
