Hey, kids, it’s Dad. For today’s TommyLog I want to talk to you about a situation that happened last week. I was working on a project for work. being new, things are not 100% clicking yet and probably won’t for some time. That perfectly ok in my book, that’s what learning is all about.
Ok, so I’m struggling with an assignment. I was getting down on myself and I was pretty dejected actually. I reached out to my buddy Scott who is mentoring me on the project. I explained to him what was happening. I said I was spinning my wheels here, I was pretty down and BAM…in 5 seconds he said something that totally changed my perspective. he said, “Hey, I’ve been there and you are much closer to the solution that you think.”
Those few words of encouragement were all I needed. My day 100% changed from dark and gloomy to bright and smiling. it’s amazing what some encouragement can do. Kids we need to reach out to someone today, give them some encouragement with hopes it will turn a frown, upside down.
