COT AND BOM
I get to take my daughter Molly to school every morning. On Thursday mornings, I have an early 8 o’clock meeting. She is usually up and ready to go, but sometimes she forgets to wake up. Yesterday morning was one of those mornings. When I got home from my workout at 6:25 she was just waking up. I asked her if she was getting ready and she started whining saying she woke up late and she can’t get ready in time. “It’s impossible Dad!” I assured her that she could if she hustled and made it a goal to get ready by 6:55 AM. She whined one more time and said OK. At 6:55 she was already dressed, had made herself some breakfast, had her bag packed and was waiting on me. I thought to myself that often times we talk ourselves out of things when we really just need to put our head down, clinch our teeth and push through. I think Molly learned a good lesson this morning as we talked about it on the way to school and so did I.
