Weekly Reflections
Your Why
This is one of quotes from my music conference that really resonates with me;
"If you understand your WHY, is makes your WHAT more impactful".
Mr. Marsh spoke to me about this and it is a powerful quote. The middle school teachers and I got to see presenters this week that spoke about this very thing. Your Why is what will get you out of bed in the morning. It is that thing that will give you purpose each day. I hope as this week progresses, you refocus your why (if you need to).
