A Monday to make as good as we all can - Mark and Marcus

Mark Roberts, Executive Director, Max De Pree Center and Marcus Aurelius, Stoic Philosopher

Lucy,

As we try to come to grips with this new normal, at least for the foreseeable future, I share guidance from Mark Roberts, Executive Director of the Max De Pree Center for Leadership and Stoic Philosopher, Marcus Aurelius. 

Starting with Marcus:

"When jarred, unavoidably, by circumstances revert at once to yourself and don't lose the rhythm more than you can help. You'll have a better grasp of harmony if you keep going back to it." 

                                                   - Marcus Aurelius

Read the chapter titled 'Channel Your Energy' (page 114) in Ryan Holiday's, The Obstacle is the Way, one of two Holiday books I gave you for Christmas. There has never been a better time to read the entire book! 

And from Mark Roberts, a longtime favorite going back to his days as Senior Director of Laity Lodge: Leading in a Crisis: The Difference God Makes.

It does not seem quite right to say 'Make it a Great Monday', but make it as productive as possible, considering the circumstances and . . .

Wash your hands,

Dad
