Today as our "Welcome Back" by our district we had the U of U head gymnastics coach, Tom Farden (spelling?, speak to us about determination, creativity and engagement. He told of running a 100 KM race (62 miles). He was running near a man named Johnny. The weekend before the race, Johnny had gone through the race path and put up signs along the race that said, "Go Johnny!" As Johnny ran, he would see the signs and clap and call out, "Go Johnny! You can do this!" Soon Coach Farden was also cheering for Johnny as he ran. He found that everyone needs those "Go Johnny" signs to encourage and build endurance and perseverance. He asked what we are doing to inspire and build others.
LESSON: Give others encouragement and inspiration to help them endure and persevere. And give the same encouragement to yourself!
