Some mornings it requires nothing less than courage to face the day.
Our stresses are many. Pressure comes from unexpected quarters. Projects are not turning out the way we planned. Sabotage seems more common than support. The political winds shift against us. Money dries up and options seem scarce. No one answers when you shout, “Where’s the love?!”
Some mornings we simply need to be our own best friend. Say to ourselves,
“Hey friend. I believe in you. As daunting as the day threatens to be, it will be worse for all involved if you don’t show up.
No one else can give the contribution that is yours to bring today. No one.
I know you’re weary. I know you feel assaulted on multiple fronts. I know it’s not fair. But I know you. And you don’t give up. You can’t stop caring. You won’t allow those around you to settle for less than best, and you won’t allow yourself to in this case either.
Someone, maybe even God, has given you to this day as much if not more than given this day to you. It’s time now to face it and engage it. I believe in you.”
What do you say to yourself to muster the courage to face the day?
