Happy Thursday!
Gratitude
Today I'm grateful for my network. I had some good news at work yesterday- I was screen for Command of a unit here in the Navy. Moderately-sized hullabaloo; and a handful of mentors and friends came out of the internet space to congratulate me. It was really nice to see a note of appreciation and encouragement from folks I hadn't spoken to in a while.
Positivity
Get out there today and take a chance on something!!! I was told "no" on a couple things yesterday and each time it just made me want that "yes" even more. Most times the "no" isn't based on a rule or policy - it's because someone just doesn't want to do it. Your request may take more effort than they're willing to give at the moment - and your mission - if you choose to accept it, and you really want it - is to convince them otherwise. So lean into it and find a way to flip a "no" today. :)
Thank you!
Joe
