Monday Mush


I love this movie, and I love this concept.  If you haven’t seen “We Bought a Zoo,” I would suggest you add that to your queue.  It is a great true story that details a family that made some radical choices with some very cool outcomes. 

Throughout the movie, he discusses this concept.  That it takes 20 seconds of crazy courage to change your life.   Think back in your life to times that you had to make a change or that you wanted something so bad, you broke out of your comfort zone to accomplish it.  Maybe you started a relationship, stopped a relationship, quit a job, found a  job, or a whole host of other possibilities.

Courage is a concept that is important to all of us.  We all need it from time to time…it got us where we are today.  We need to make sure that our students know that they have it.  They have to know they have the courage and awareness to make their own decisions.  They can control their destiny as well as control how the world views them.  We want both of those to be positive. 

As you go along this week, look for ways to show kids they have courage…look for ways they can grow and change by simply making the decision to trying it.

If you are looking for something personally yourself, maybe it is time to invest 20 seconds to get there…..


Happy Monday!
