I use to Fall, now I get back up

Fear in itself, will reel you in and spit you out, over and over again, BELIEVE in yourself and you will walk.  

I wish I had wrote this quote, but no, I have to give credit to Justin Furstenfeld from the band Blue October.  

The days I feel like I don't have the courage to face the challenges I face daily,  I come back to this song.  So powerful!  In fact, in the first year of Leadership class, our cohort had to write our personal mission statement which was influenced by this song.    

My leadership personal mission statement:  
​
To be a transformational leader, one must have the courage to "fall, and get back up".  With faith, authenticity, and growth, one can accomplish anything you set out to do, even when roadblocks sometimes crop up during the journey.

And of course, when I find a chance to plug Blue October, I use the opportunity!
