GOALS FOR THE WEEK
WEEKLY WORDS OF WISDOM
PREPARE TO BE SPECTACULAR
Our world is filled with great people who have accomplished great things. There are athletes and coaches, performers and actors, musicians and artists, educators, social advocates and leaders, inventors and innovators, and everyday people who are simply SPECTACULAR. All of these “greats” started their journey in the same way. They all took one brave step to GO BIG. They understood that in order to go after their goals and dreams, it would require persistence, effort, and belief in themselves despite immense obstacles and moments of self-doubt. It meant making the choice to GO BIG.
We each have hopes, dreams, and goals for ourselves and our world. GOING BIG doesn’t mean always winning the game or receiving the award, buying a mansion or fancy car, or accruing the most social media followers. GOING BIG means pursuing your dreams even while feeling doubt or fear. It means taking a deep breath or lots of deep breaths and working on that hard task because you know in the end you know it will move you closer to where you want to be and who you want to become. GOING BIG means fostering confidence in yourself to accomplish something you once thought impossible.
Whether we believe it or not, we all have the ability to GO BIG and achieve amazing things. We also have the ability to help others do SPECTACULAR things through our encouragement and support. After all, our lives are as SPECTACULAR as we make them. For some, that means doing small things in a BIG way. For others, it might be accomplishing a goal they’ve always dreamed of achieving. Sometimes, things get in the way, like fear of failure or not knowing where to begin. However, as we face each obstacle and decide to GO BIG, we start to step into a SPECTACULAR life, even if we aren’t completely sure of the outcome. So, this week, we’d like you and your family to GO BIG and make your lives as SPECTACULAR as you want it to be. Every step you take leads you to something BIG.
Let’s discover what it takes to make your life a BIG and beautiful journey where anything is possible. Let’s explore how to bring energy to our ideas, goals, and plans. Let’s figure out how we can roll with the punches that will come our way. Let’s understand that GOING BIG is not a solo act and do what we can to support one another to achieve our dreams. Make your life BIG. Make it SPECTACULAR. Let’s GO BIG.
FAMILY FOCUS
BIG GOALS
Having and pursuing goals is an essential part of the high school experience and of life. We should regular set goals and make a plan to achieve them. Too often, we limit our goals to things that are easily attainable or not challenging. instead, we should push ourselves to do BIG things and have SPECTACULAR outcomes. As a school, we are always focused on both short term goals and long term (after high school) goals..
