I love the message on Cameron's shirt tonight, not to mention the pose. Never Give Up! Coaches kids are trained everyday to keep on keeping on--no matter what. It's easy for parents to push this life lesson, but living it ourselves is sometimes the hardest part.
This week has been a career three-peat for Momma K. Our community got a perfect on their health inspection. Perfect on our State Survey inspection and reached the mark of 100% occupied with a wait list. This tri-factor is very rare, let alone all three in the same week. People go their entire career and don't see results like this.
Never Give Up! I have spent everyday, every weekend, every hour since March of 2013 trying to figure out ways to reach this goal. My kids have asked nightly at the dinner table, "Are you full mom?" Heck, Justice even tries to move people in. My team has lived it and owned it. We have been so close and taken six steps backward to heartache. We have cheered. We have cried. We have pushed each other. We have lost employees, but we never gave up. Ever. These eighteen months have taught us more about adversity and character than any assignment before. I am so proud to call these people my team. The victory feels so sweet and now we start the next chapter.
Today's morning huddle speech I gave was about Duke Basketball. (Yep--Love me some Coach K) Why do people hate Duke? They win; and continue to win. I asked who loves winning at this board room table? If you don't answer yes--then you might re-think your seat. We are now Duke. You have won the NCAA Championship, but guess what? The hardest part to staying a winner is the continued struggle. The continued push to excellence. Anyone can win, but can you stay a winner? Enjoy today; but never give up. Never.
