I just returned home this weekend from a big regional area meet in Pensacola and saw this. Wanted to share it as this is the beauty of cross country and how it would apply if we used that same spirit in our work and personal lives. These are not my words but as a 7+ year cross country mom, they very well could be. —- What if we lived life like we were all in a cross country meet? What if we watched other people and recognized that we're all just trying to get across the finish line? What if we understood that some people are running as hard as they can but battling illnesses, invisible injuries, and internal struggles? Every step is hard, but they're trying not to quit. What if we cheered for everyone even if they weren't on our team? What if we realized just finishing something, no matter how long it took us or how messy it seemed, was enough? In fact, it was a win. What if we used every race as an opportunity to learn more about ourselves and how we could use each other for support, inspiration, and help to reach our goals? What if we cheered loud for the winner, but even louder for the one who comes in after because they accomplished something great, too? In a world that tells us it's about me, me, me, what if we started living to support everyone brave enough to be in the race? What if we started treating our lives like we were all in the same cross country meet? What a beautiful world that would be. Love hard. Whitney Fleming Writes

Dave Maddux with Leadership, Luck & Life. We are in the middle of the holiday season, one of the all-time favorite holiday families has got to be the Griswold’s. Clark. Ellen. Cousin Eddie. Millions have watched the now classic movie of the Christmas season, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. There is a reason this movie is one of the most popular in American culture – it presents a view of the imperfections of life, family, and relationships. And, it is just plain funny. Here are a few leadership lessons that we can learn from Clark this Christmas. 1. Every group, family or team comes with quirks, not just yours.    2. Unrealistic expectations can result in some serious disappointment. 3. Solutions to problems are often found in the least expected places. 4. Generosity matters. This year has had challenges we could not have imagined this time last year. And yet, here we are at Christmas 2024, may you accept the imperfect people surrounding you (including yourself), keep your expectations in check, and show some generosity to others, and thank God for his unconditional charity that continues to be shown to each of us through Jesus. As Clark would say, "Have the hap-hap-happiest Christmas."
