Resilience and Growth= When you go through something, you grow through it. As you think about your goals and what you want to achieve, you make a plan knowing there will be setbacks and things won't go as planned—and that is where you need resilience. Resilience is a skill—a skill that can be learned. 



Living on the Edge - We aren't always going to get it right, remember that. If it doesn't work out the first time, or even the second time - get back up. Embrace being human, embrace being resilient.

Tomorrow, Making a Difference Today Will be Too Late
Make Today Better - We should have passion and excitement for what we do. We all need a thought or prompting to make us make today better. Today is the day that you can make a difference. So get passion, go out, and make a difference for one another. 



No One Ever Coasted to Success
