Anybody Else Rushing through Life?
b'
The first thing Wes talks about is how everything happens for a reason, even if it\\u2019s negative. A few days ago he was rushing around and he slipped and fell on ice, twisted his back, and banged up the funny bone on his elbow. This was after he told his wife to be careful.\\xa0 He thought about why this happened. The secret to success is finding a lesson in everything that happens. He thought that he didn\\u2019t have an appointment that warranted him rushing. He felt pain well after the fall which told him he needs to slow down and think things through. Going through his head were thoughts of not working out tomorrow because he\\u2019ll be sore.\\xa0 He was talking himself out of it, but he did work out because it is a habit. His goal is to work out every day, so he wasn\\u2019t going to quit.
This brings up the second thing Wes discusses which is integrity. He tells everyone on social media that he works out every day, so then he is obligated to do it.\\xa0 No one will know if he doesn\\u2019t do it, but he will know. If he doesn\\u2019t do it, he will let himself down. This integrity helps build success. If you can\\u2019t do it for yourself, then how can you do it for others? Wes discusses how difficult it is nowadays to find integrity. He talks about a student he had that failed Physical Education her Freshman, Sophomore, and online. Her Senior year she had a doctor\\u2019s note. When she came to class she didn\\u2019t dress at first. She would come to class for a week then not show up after that. She wasn\\u2019t consistent. The Counselor told Wes he couldn\\u2019t grade her on the days she wasn\\u2019t there. This didn\\u2019t sit well with him.\\xa0 How can you pass a class being inconsistent? How do you feel about yourself? How can a school say this is ok? This is a requirement to graduate, but the principal said to pass her even though she didn\\u2019t do the work. \\xa0 Wes talks about how he had to deal with the students\\u2019 parents listening to them complain then cater to the parent because the school says so. Wes decided he was done teaching because of no integrity in the school system.\\xa0
The third item Wes discusses is failure. Failure is an invitation to try again.\\xa0 People see failure as a red light, but it actually is a green light setting us up for success.\\xa0 The key to success when failing is to find the lesson in the failure. What can I do differently? \\xa0
