When what we do does not match who we are, we suffer.
Pay attention to that which brings and sustains your life.

The Physical.

President Lyndon B. Johnson proclaimed February 1964 as the first American Heart Month. In part, his proclamation stated,

“I urge the people of the United States to give heed to the nationwide problem
of the heart and blood-vessel diseases,
and to support the programs required to bring about its solution.”

The “solution” he called for more than fifty years ago requires that we listen to our hearts. Pay attention to the signs of distress. More importantly, live the healthy life that will help to decrease the incidence of a coronary incident. The American Hear Association uses the acronym GO RED to emphasize the importance of paying attention to heart health. After all, heart disease is the number one killer of women in our country.

The Emotional.

We would do well to listen to our hearts emotionally, too. When we consider our goals (professional, personal, and community-based), don’t forget to dance your dance. Pay attention to what matters.  And, please remember to give each goal, opportunity, and challenge the Second R.E.A.D.

When what we do does not match who we are, we suffer.

Pay attention to that which brings and sustains your life.

• Stories about Teaching, Learning, and Resilience: No Need to be an Island (2017). It has been adopted for teaching, learning, and coaching purposes.
