You Got This

Teachers,

5 Point Friday is a little email I like to do each week to share with you a few thoughts, a quote, an article or video, and the calendar items for the next few weeks. I hope you enjoy something in it. If there is something you would like to see more of as we go through the year, please let me know. If you don't enjoy it at least read the calendar. Have a wonderful day.

Teachers,

Here is your weekly dose of “5-Point Friday

You Got This—
This was sent to me in an email this week and I thought I would share it with you.
“It's not where you are right now, it's where you want to go. It's where you plan to go. 
Where are you going to go? Do you know what you want to master?
Can you see yourself, deep in the process? Loving the process? Totally absorbed in the process?
There are a million distractions in the world right now. You could easily distract yourself from your dreams. But you know how it feels when you're in a state of avoidance. When you're just passively passing the time. That's not where you want to be.
Be active. Get focused. Shut-out the noise. 
99% of the world is distracted right now. They don't have a vision. They aren't absorbed in the process. They aren't pushing through powerful boundaries and going deeper and deeper into the flow.
This is a brilliant opportunity you have. Choose, based on your values and perspectives, which makes the most sense to master. 
Become the best version of yourself. Get clearer and clearer on what is most essential to you. Become more courageous and confident by blocking-out the non-essential. Complete those things you've been procrastinating.
You've got this. —Ben Hardy”
You are amazing teachers. You’ve got this. 

Quote I’m pondering —
Your vision of where or who you want to be is the greatest asset you have. Without having a goal it's difficult to score."- Paul Arden

Favorite Video This Week —
I always thought the maracas were a toy for kids. Not with this maraca player. He is mesmerizing. If you only watch 30 seconds, start at the 2:00 mark and watch him. This reminds me that the littlest items can actually make the biggest difference. And a lot of practice.

A Big Thank You —
Thank you for helping Kim and I this week. It was a whirlwind of new schedules and new school layout and just a lot new. We appreciate you helping us and being patient. There are so many amazing things going on here at Arrowhead. I am so excited to be a part of it. Thank you.

I appreciate all of you and your hard work.
