A new year is upon us, a new dawn has begun. Last year we took on a dare to challenge ourselves to grow to be better than yesterday. Today we should reflect on how much we accomplished last year a new us a better us. However that growth is the ‘past us’ and we did it, we started it and finished it or we are still going and still daring, climbing that mountain to accomplish something. We can’t all predict the future, we don’t know what tomorrow has in store for us we don’t know what this new year will bring to us. However what we can do is prepare ourselves for it and not just ourselves. We are part of a team, what we can do is to make sure our fellow team members have what they need to take on tomorrows challenge, it’s with in our own control and our power to make sure they have what they need and support them when they need to be supported. If we lead the way and a new challenge is to cross the ocean, we need to make sure that our team has what they need for the voyage. The worst is if a team member sinks. If it’s within our power to provide the tools, the time, the support then it’s our duty to do so, to make sure they get across the ocean. Let’s ask our team one by one, “do you have what you need, what else can I do for you”. If we are a leader, then we serve others. It’s single and only way to explain what a leader is. I’ve used the phrase “make sure” a fair bit because today that’s all we can do, since we all can’t see what cards tomorrow will play against us, we can only make sure we got what we got and be ready for anything that might happen. So let’s start with a small toast to the dare and to the growth from yesterday. Let’s prepare ourselves and our team today, and when tomorrow hits us with a wave let’s all hold tight and tell tomorrow “I was ready for this, we where ready for this”. Happy new year everyone.
