Saw Mission Impossible on Memorial Day and it triggered a few thoughts I’d like to share with you. I don’t know if you are familiar with that franchise or the old TV show but from the title you get the idea. The main character, Ethan, is tasked to do something that is seemingly impossible but with the help of a team he perseveres and succeeds. See the parallel analogy I’m making? I know it can sometimes feel impossible to reach our lofty goals for health and fitness but the two keys-getting help from your team and never giving up will end in success. I know how hard persistence and consistency can be. I hope being a part of the EV “team” helps and encourages you. Ethan faces obstacle after obstacle. Maybe we aren’t trying to save the world like Ethan does but our parenting does truly impact the world through the lives and contributions our children and future generations of our family will make. Hang in there because what you do every day really does matter. You matter. And on those days when you feel exhausted and wonder if you are doing enough just know that all of your work and love will pay off and your family benefits from all that you do.

Not all of life’s problems are your fault, but finding solutions are your responsibility. If you want to raise truly great children, find a way to inspire them with that simple lesson.

Be generous with your focus on others. The common thread of your happy memories probably has something to do with attention received from those who love you.

Character workouts help provide a daily time to spend quality time with your children, to improve your own health and fitness, to help your children become life long readers, to increase your own energy and to give your children a great foundation for athletic success. Amazingly, by combining these goals you can easily fit all of these powerful activities into the daily fifteen minute activity of character workouts.

I hope 2021 has started off well for you. Even if this past week or month has brought struggles, find some time today to search for what you can be grateful for and especially for your family. As we reflect on what we've learned from the hard times and enjoyed in the good times, let today be a day to celebrate your family and your children and to find a way to purposely express your love for them.

"Just as we can't wait for inspiration when we are trying to hit a deadline, we can't wait for all the feelings to catch unto us before we give away extravagant amounts of love". Bob Goff
