EP212 The train's leaving the station. Are you on board?

Published: Jan. 24, 2021, 5 p.m.

For 2021, I want to have a single-minded focus on the destination ahead. A train can\u2019t go in multiple directions at once.

So, what is my mission? My contribution? What is the thing I can be doing right now in the world to make it a better place? I want to decide that and get on board the train.

I\u2019ve wasted far too much time hanging around the station, arguing with naysayers and trying to persuade people (who don\u2019t want to be persuaded) that they should come on board.

I believe this moment in time is meant for us to map out the next stop, holler out \u201call aboard,\u201d and start moving down the tracks\u2026regardless of how many people are with us. Other folks can always hop on at a later stop if they want, or catch the next train.

They can also spend the rest of their lives grumbling at the station. They can even board a train heading in the opposite direction. Don\u2019t let any of their choices stop YOU from where you need to go. \xa0

Get really clear on the destination you want to head toward. Where are you trying to take your students? Your family? Your personal relationships? Your community? Yourself? And pull that train out of the station. \u2028
