Week #316 – Q4 is Underway! (What do you want to show for it?)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greetings Tribe \u2014 and Happy Friday!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s the first Friday in October. The fourth quarter of the fiscal year. Thirteen weeks remaining in this crazy year called 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I\u2019ve written before<\/a>, the turn into October is usually a white-flag moment for me: the last lap.  A time to stop, take stock, and set a course for Q4 \u2014 the finish line of the calendar year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this year, it feels like we’re barely out of the starting gate!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like you, we’ve been dealing with lockdowns and layoffs. And, as many of you know, in addition to all the other craziness that 2020 has handed us — Jim lost his father just two weeks ago. Not to Covid — but in a bizarre pedestrian accident that took his life in a split second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The year just doesn’t make sense.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And yet, I know that Q4 is special because it brings the calendar year to a distinct close and gives us a unique opportunity to reflect and celebrate all that we’ve accomplished, completed, achieved, experienced, loved AND lost in the year that has passed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which brings me to my question: What sense can we make of it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because no matter what happens, this year will pass. And it will be remembered…for Covid, for the election, for people we loved and lost, for jobs changed and wisdom gained. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For what we decided to do with it…not just what it did with us!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So whether you’ve been keeping up<\/a> with your dreams and goals this year…or whether life has thrown you curveball after cutter after slider, now is a good time to take stock and think about how this last quarter can bring you some healing, some closure, or at least a chance to regain your footing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sure there are problems — but remember to keep track of the good stuff too. Covid has taken a lot from us this year. Don’t let it steal your joy, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Happyness Challenge for the week ahead:\u00a0Q4 is underway! What do you want to show for it? \u00a0<\/strong>Is there something you still need to do that is nagging at you? \u00a0Something you want to leave in 2020? If so\u2026you\u2019ve got thirteen full weeks to get it done! \u00a0Don\u2019t take unfinished business into the new year ahead. \u00a0Break it down into steps\u2026share it with a friend\u2026find yourself a buddy\u2026get to work\u2026and get it DONE!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most important\u2026keep collecting the good stuff<\/a>!<\/strong>\u00a0 Keep on keeping track of those things that bring you hope, happiness, and satisfaction! \u00a0Because we need more of that, especially now. \u00a0More focus on the wins. \u00a0More focus on what\u2019s right. \u00a0More focus on loving our lives and the people in it \u2014 so that we can live our lives more fully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To Life! To Love!! To Happyness!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
