If you could achieve a world record, what would it be? Do you know what Felix Baumgartner did? Or what David Goggins did 4030 times in 24 hours? Compare this to the achievement of Roger Bannister on May 6th, 1954. All of these challenges required great self-belief and determination. They all faced the challenge of something that hadn’t been done before.
What about you? Will you be the person that the history books will be mentioning? Do you love a challenge enough? Your challenge may not become a world record but I hope you are able to find something this year that causes you to grow to overcome it. I challenge you to enter a race that requires determination, effort and consistency. The House System represents such a competition. It is a marathon, not a sprint. I am inspired when people, who thought they could never run, go on to complete 5Ks, 10Ks, half-marathons, then full marathons. For those who think they will not be able to do anything like that, maybe 2023 is your year to face a challenge.
In all areas of life, we face hindrances to achieving our best. Sometimes it is obvious, and we can self reflect on what we need to do to change. Sometimes, we need the loving support of others to support and challenge us to change. Let us look for opportunities to spur each other on this week.
