To: \u00a0The Great Leaders Who Have a Passion for Continuous Learning<\/p>\n
With the beginning of summer for those of us in the northern hemisphere Philip Humbert\u00a0‘s article, “Make It One Heck of a Summer”,\u00a0and its message of carpe diem<\/em> again comes to mind. \u00a0I share this at the beginning of each summer as its\u00a0point continues to serve us well.\u00a0 In the article he talks about how he and his wife in October seemed to always have the same conversation about summer: \u00a0“Oh, no! \u00a0Where did the summer go?” Moments later the house was filled with whining and moaning, a few complaints and exclamations that, “I can’t believe we let it get away again!” \u00a0I believe his experience is similar to most of\u00a0ours\u00a0and that come October, we may look back with similar regrets.<\/p>\n His point in this, however, is about goal setting. \u00a0Human beings, he says, are by nature “goal-setting and goal-achieving creatures.” \u00a0We set goals everyday – from\u00a0the\u00a0planning of our daily schedule to planning what we will eat during the week. \u00a0So if we are to have the greatest summer of our lives, we need to plan to make it the greatest. \u00a0Start today. \u00a0Circle dates on the calendar and mark them with things you want and love to do. \u00a0Fill it up\u00a0and let it overflow the brim. \u00a0Live this summer as the best you have ever had! \u00a0 It is your beautiful and special life to live to its fullest. \u00a0Stretch yourself to do new things, uncover new possibilities and happiness for you, your family and those around you. \u00a0 And in October, look back proudly\u00a0and with satisfaction\u00a0at what you have achieved,\u00a0learned\u00a0and experienced: \u00a0that happiness and success is in your choosing and doing. \u00a0Choose wisely and choose well!<\/p>\n Happy Fathers Day!<\/p>\n Have a beautiful day, a fantastic week and an incredible summer!!!<\/p>\n Mike<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" To: \u00a0The Great Leaders Who Have a Passion for Continuous Learning With the beginning of summer for those of us in the northern hemisphere Philip Humbert\u00a0‘s article, “Make It One… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-270","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-three-minute-leadership"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/StillmanLeaders\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/270","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/StillmanLeaders\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/StillmanLeaders\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/StillmanLeaders\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/StillmanLeaders\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=270"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/StillmanLeaders\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/270\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":272,"href":"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/StillmanLeaders\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/270\/revisions\/272"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/StillmanLeaders\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=270"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/StillmanLeaders\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=270"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blogs.shu.edu\/StillmanLeaders\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=270"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
