I Will Rebuild- Joplin home destroyed by tornado

Ever feel like giving up? Throwing in the towel? Quitting? A friend of mine recently returned from a volunteer trip to help in the rebuilding of Joplin, MO in the wake of the recent tornado. The stories of tragedy are moving but the stories of heroism and determination are also inspiring. Life quickly gains perspective when you see how so many have suffered. I was especially moved by this photo she shared. “I WILL REBUILD”, as you see in the photo, captures the essence of the human spirit that shows itself when some are faced with the unthinkable or the difficult.

Tough decisions and challenges will inevitably face us. The question is- how will we react? It could be a hard financial decision, an underperforming product category, and employee or family issues. We have a couple of choices- ignore it and do nothing (which never ends well-I’ve tried it) or have the “I WILL REBUILD” attitude. Facing the seemingly impossible is never easy but if you believe failure is not an option, then start today by reviewing what needs to be confronted. Develop a strategy to rebuild and have the never give in, never give up spirit that has made the USA the great nation that it is.
