"Good found within all failures..."

Good morning!

I hope everyone is having a great weekend and that your Sunday is off to a great start! I am starting mine heading to Columbus for a little wrestling with my older two! I am grateful for our great communities and all of our parents/coaches who take the time out of their day to give back to our youth. If we are looking to grow in activities, it will take all of us to continue to come together and provide for our youth. There are many ways to get involved (outside of just sports) at our school or within our communities so let us know if interested!

With that, it ties into this week quote and it is patience and finding the good. We are closing out what can seem like the longest, shortest month of the year because of weather and lack of sunshine. This year, not too bad but as we came to close out the month, it seemed like we were on pins and needles with fuses a little shorter than usual or being a little more rowdier than before. It is part of it and we thrive for wanting to get outside and hang out with others.

As we move through the next few months and into the future, we are in the unfortunate time where we are going to lose a few people we care about (whether that is love ones, staff moving on to bigger opportunities, etc.). It is also a time where we self-reflect and sometimes it seems like we are falling short in who we are or what we do. It is part of life and we are here to support whenever that may happen.

During those times, it is important to trust the process, being patient with how things come out and finding the good within those bad/dark times. It may not make sense at the moment but over time, it will reveal why things happen for the reasons that could be beyond us at the time. Although we want rainbows and butterflies in everyone's lives, we know that it isn't like that everyday. Through those times, we need to reach out to others, seek knowledge of ourselves and know that everything happens for a reason.

Find the good and trust that you are on a path that will continue to push you to becoming your best version. Be your best for your family, for your career, for your future and for yourself! Be patient and keep moving forward!

Quote of the week to reflect on:

"There is something good in all seeming failures. You are not to see that now. Time will reveal it Be patient."

Swami Sivananda

Sincerely,

Tucker Tejkl
