Hello IndyGrit.Community Members,
I hope you and your family are safe and healthy. I'm reaching out today to encourage you with a brief video that I trust will provide some help for gritting it through the week ahead. Below are some of the quotes I reference and a link to the interview with Jim Collins. I hope to be back next week with another encouraging word for the week ahead.
Regards,
Harry Howe

“Well, you have to understand, it was never depressing. Because despite all those circumstances, I never ever wavered in my absolute faith that not only would I prevail—get out of this—but I would also prevail by turning it into the defining event of my life that would make me a stronger and better person. Not only that, Jim, you realize I’m the lucky one.”
~Admiral James Stockdale
"This is what I learned from those years in the prison camp, where all those constraints just were oppressive. You must never ever ever confuse, on the one hand, the need for absolute, unwavering faith that you can prevail despite those constraints with, on the other hand, the need for the discipline to begin by confronting the brutal facts, whatever they are. We’re not getting out of here by Christmas.”
~Admiral James Stockdale
