MESSAGE #476 WHAT I LIKE ABOUT MYSELF…
Today’s message is especially dedicated to Jon Heitmann, assistant principal at Glen Ridge High School in New Jersey.
Do you know what I like about myself?
I love learning. I love improving. I have a growth mindset. I don’t feel that there is a limit as to how skilled I can get in sports, business, relationships or any area of life.
Yesterday I watched a DVD of a motivational speaker. I figure if I could get one thing out of it, to help me improve, it would be worth it. Though I didn’t feel that it was a particularly good program, I did walk away with one new thing and I also learned what not to do.
By watching videos like that, I know that I am not just in my job, I am into my job. I feel like I haven’t worked in years.
Now I know what you’re thinking, “Ed, but you’re different.”
Guess what? I’m not different. I wasn’t always like this. I used to hate reading. My grades were only average in high school. I failed out of college…twice.
But now I have found my passion and know my goals, so every day I do a little bit to get closer to those goals.
Do what you love and love what you do. Love learning and love improving. Become a little better every day. It doesn’t matter where you are, what matters is where you want to go.
You can do it…trust me, I know from experience.
Thanks for reading.
