Monday Motivation: Embrace the Challenge

Monday motivation, sometimes we all need a little help getting started with our week!Yesterday we marked the anniversary of the Challenger space shuttle disaster. We also remembered Audie Murphy for his heroic stand during World War 2.As you head out into the week, as you experience trouble and tribulation, remember that there is an opportunity to grow. With a brave face after the Challenger tragedy, we still ventured out into space, pioneering technology and advancing humankind. Certainly, there was fear as astronauts boarded the Discovery space shuttle following the Challenger disaster, but they boarded anyways. Just like Audie Murphy stood bravely despite overwhelming odds and triumphed. We as Americans, whatever our station in life, we have an incredible and poetic belligerence to us. We won't be defeated, no matter how many times we are knocked down.

We will, as always get up, dust ourselves off and carry on towards victory like Americans have through history. In turbulent times and in eras of great prosperity alike, we somehow find our way forward by putting our noses to the grindstone and working hard.As you begin your week, we don't know what you're going through or what problems might afflict you at this time, but we do know that you're Americans, and we know you can handle it. We know like always, you'll be out there fighting the good fight and winning the race. You may not have had the best weekend, and you might feel like you need an extra day of sleep, a weekend to recover from your weekend, however, we've all been there before and made it through, so we have no doubt you'll find the energy to put a smile on your face and get the job done. Just like our fellow Americans after the Challenger explosion and Audie Murphy did on the battlefield. The odds may be stacked against you, but we believe in you and your ability to win!
