As we embark on the week ahead, I challenge us to view one aspect of our lives with a process-minded approach. Rather than judging ourselves over the wins and losses that come our way, let’s seek the learning and progress in those situations and build off of that wisdom. Use it to be better the next time, and continuing on our way on that path with allow for greatness to be realized.

As we embark on this week I challenge us to seek positive energy and influence in all that we do. When we are talking to our co-workers, let’s be that vibe. After the guy driving in front of us cuts us off, let’s take a deep breath and keep it moving. When everyone else is talking about how the world is such a mess, let’s give them a reason to think the opposite.

Be that person this week, be purposeful in that pursuit, because we can and we should. Make it a great week y’all!

As we embark on this week, I challenge us to pick an aspect of our lives and define what success looks like in that realm. A big question I suggest asking is do we need more of that specific thing in our life, or would simply being better in it or at it find us in a healthier frame of mind. Do I need to work more hours, or do I need to be more efficient with those hours? Do I need to be making more money, or do I need to manage it better? Do I need to have more friends, or do I need to be better and more purposeful with the ones I currently have?

Without question our genetic make-up plays a big role in how our mental and physical biology’s are formed. So, when it comes to our skillsets, whether it be leadership, how fast we can run, or our reading ability, it would be easy to write these things off as natural talents that were gifted to us at birth. However, through personal and work experiences, I have witnessed firsthand how this could not be further from the truth, and if willing, just about anything in our lives can be improved upon through hard work and purposeful approaches.

Logan is a native of Zanesville, Ohio and current graduate of Ohio State University. During his time in Columbus he majored in Sport Industry and walked on to the Buckeye football team in winter of 2018.

Logan's story of trying out for the team is a modern-day Rudy-like story, as he was working as a maintenance personnel at the football building when he was invited to work out for an opportunity to join the team come spring time. He worked his way onto the roster in the fall of 2018, and the rest is history.

Hard work needs to consist of seeking purpose in our pursuits, consistency over a quality amount of time, and an open mind to what we find by doing so. It’s okay to not know what to do, it’s okay to not know what the step looks like, and it’s okay to not have your life figured out today. But, taking action and putting our efforts towards something we feel could lead us to happiness and/or greatness is necessary, and finding the courage to make that happen could be just what you have searching for all your life. Make it a great week y’all!
