A motto for this Monday

“Never miss a Monday.”

A member of a fitness group I am a part shared that nugget a few months ago. But what does it mean?

The sentiment is about showing up even when we aren’t motivated to show up. It’s Monday morning, 8 am, and a few weeks back somebody scheduled a meeting. Whether that’s your lived experience today or only a scenario, can you feel the heaviness? Can you feel the “ugh” factor?

But never missing a Monday means showing up in every way–physically, mentally, and emotionally–even when we don’t want to. Why? Because that is among our duties as leaders. To show others the way through our own example.

Let’s get after it today. Yes, it’s Monday. But we are the type of people who never miss a Monday.
