February 6, 2023 A-DAY
PANTHER PRIDE FOCAL POINT
Ever feel like something keeps holding you back? If so, you’re not alone, often we can feel like we are spinning our wheels and not making much progress (definitely easy to get this negative feeling in the middle of winter!) Anyway, the next time you get that feeling I want you to think of an Arrow. An arrow can be a great symbol for determination, and here’s why; An arrow can only be shot Forward by being pulled Backwards. The more it is pulled back, the more strength it will get and the farther it will go! So, keep this in mind when you feel that life is dragging you backwards with difficulties and challenges. Just keep grinding and soon you will be launched forward into something great. So be sure to stay focused and keep aiming, because you’ll never know when it is your time to fly towards the bullseye! Have a great week! GO PANTHERS!!
