"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."
Martin Luther King, Jr
Our Healthy Minds, Healthy Bods business set-up is a fantastic practical example of staying positive, persevering and keeping that "challenge" mentality of a Growth Mind-set.
We have encountered brick walls constantly, but continue to climb them, reach the other side, and continue our journey. Even this year, we are already facing obstacles.
For funding, as discussed a lot recently, we feel an approach to the private sector, large Corporates, may be our best bet. We were going to start contacting Corporate (Social) Responsibility Managers this week. However, as usual an unforeseen event rears its ugly head in the form of a nasty cold virus, affecting throats, voices, and energy. But, it just means a small delay - which is good in one way to enable us to make sure paperwork is complete. And we can catch up. That's the attitude to take.
We also were looking to start daily videos online on our Youtube channel. Again, the husky voice, together with a raspy cough, has meant a delay on that too. It's funny, but a couple of years ago, without that positive vibe, it could have knocked us back a lot. Mentally we are all a lot stronger now, as we follow our own HMHB advice. There is no point in us advocating a growth mind-set, and then inwardly collapsing with a fixed mind-set outlook!
We are already a week into January, which is another pivotal month for us. It is important to focus and pinpoint our efforts.
