Dear Leaders:
I was driving to work the other morning and a song came on the radio and I thought to myself...this would be a great topic to blog about....so here we go!
In a song by Jason Gray ("With Every Act Of Love"), Jason has a lyric in that song that really hits home with me - "we have a million doors in this world for people to walk through and one of those doors is you." What is Jason saying? What could we as leaders, parents, brothers, sisters, teachers, or individuals learn from this song?
I think of the word opportunity (door) when I hear this song. Think about your day. From the time you wake up to the time you go to bed. Think about the title of the song "With Every Act Of Love". How many opportunities do you have each day to influence a life? How many people come to your "door" a day and when they "walk" through your "door" how do you treat them? Positively or negatively?
As I finish my first full week of school, I've had a lot of students and staff come through my "door". On my whiteboard here in the office I have a one word hashtag I'm using for the school year to focus on - the hashtag is #opportunity. Each time I have an individual walk through my "door" I approach each situation as an opportunity to have positive influence towards that person. I encourage all of you to have that same mindset each and every day.
Take Care,
Mr. Townsend
