What If

"What if"…

How many times do we say “what if…” followed with fear or negative thought?
 
It seems easy to allow the thought to linger and deter the positive next steps.
 
Instead, what if we ask: What if it succeeds? What if it’s possible? What's the worst that can happen?

All it takes is reaching out for the next rung, the next “hard” thing on the monkey bars of life.  
 
If I can do that, I can do this…if I can do this…I can do that…and so on and so forth. 
 
It’s true that the monkey bar rung misses and soar arms (that are bound to come along) do hurt along the way.  
 
However, they pale in comparison to the flying, soaring sensation! The moment we experience and open our eyes to what is actually possible in this world of opportunities! The joy that comes from seeing real lives improved in tangible ways and playing a part. 
 
In our experience, it’s not that cliff jump (though it may feel that way at times/could be the rare exception). It’s the calculated movements that slowly and surely move the needle forward.
 
For fun - My workday Friday ended on a high! I had the chance to meet with the leader of an awesome organization preventing homelessness in the Lehigh Valley (PA), getting families back on their feet.
 
HIHR Team Members have volunteered and offered training, time and career development services for this organization over the last year or so. We love them and plan to collaborate even further. 
 
The leader generally asked me…’’How did you hire this team? Each one I've met are the most positive and amazing people to work with!’’ (paraphrased, but something along these lines).  
 
I couldn’t stop smiling from ear to ear, as I’m doing right now. 😊 These gems of human beings have much intrinsic motivation, high-integrity intentions, spur each other on, and are a force to be reckoned with!
 
The “Go Higher” motto applied to life is different for everyone that joins in and will EVOLVE throughout various life seasons. It can be applied to family life, health, leadership, finances, and the list goes on!
 
For real-life encouragement, a journey where more is possible, interacting with passionate people who know how to “Go Higher!” (as we love to say), feel free to join along with us. We enjoy inviting new people along in many various ways. 
 
This is a big year for us. There are several more bright announcements to come. If this resonates with you, you are welcome to join along in the excitement and energy!
