“I went from asking how long will it take,
to asking how far can I go,
and that has made all the difference in my life”
- John C. Maxwell

KIND’s outgoing COO and President John Leahy shared this poem with our team last month, and I loved it. It’s particularly fitting for this time of year as we embark on 2019 and look for the strength to uphold the resolutions that we’ve set and to meet the challenges that we’ll face. Wishing you all a happy and healthy 2019!
The man who thinks he can
If you think you are beaten, you are
If you think you dare not, you don’t
If you like to win, but don’t think you can
It’s almost a cinch you won’t
If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost
For out in the world you’ll find
Success begins with a fellow’s will
It’s all in a state of mind
For many a game is lost
Before even a play is run
And many a coward fails
Before even his work is begun
Think big and your deeds will grow
Think small and you will fall behind
Think that you can and you will
It’s all a state of mind
If you think you are outclassed, you are
You got to think high to rise
You got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize
Life battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man
But sooner or later, the man who wins
Is the fellow who thinks he can
-Walter Wintle
“The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person doing it.”
- Chinese Proverb
“A challenge only becomes an obstacle when you bow to it.”
- Ray A. Davis
“My dad encouraged us to fail. Growing up, he would ask us what we failed at that week. If we didn’t have something, he would be disappointed. It changed my mindset at an early age that failure is not the outcome, failure is not trying. Don’t be afraid to fail. ”
- Sara Blakely
“Success is never so interesting as struggle.”
- Willa Cather.
“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.”
-Albert Einstein
