CENTER
Do you feel boxed in? Do you feel stuck? Break out by getting CENTERed!
What values will you stand up for … when tested?
Will you choose to see dignity and greatness in yourself and others, rather than faults and shortcomings?
Will you choose to live with enthusiasm, rather than lethargy or apathy?
Will you focus and work hard on your strength for 10,000 hours, to become the best at your niche?
Will you pursue critique, so that you can learn how to improve?
Will you set your own high bar, beyond expectations?
Will you examine your choices, and choose?
After choosing, will you hustle, doing your “day job” but investing in your “ventures”?
Will you take charge of your own health, job, grades, attitudes?
Will you hold on to the right things, even while getting pummeled or facing setbacks?
Will you commit to working “beyond fatigue”, when others will not?
Will you stop doing things that are leading to nowhere?
Will you take risks, in order to change the rules of the game?
Can you drink from a firehose – new people, new concepts, new information – and be OK?
Will you take time to learn a community, so that you can recognize challenges and contribute?
Will you sacrifice of yourself for others?
Will you engage others in what energizes you with them, rather than avoiding them altogether?
Will you celebrate, thank, and encourage?
