Good morning, everyone. Here is your moment of yes for Thursday, November 21st. Today is— it's a new day, it's a new beginning. Even though in St. Louis here it has a wind chill in the teens, don't love that. Northeast, maybe Midwest, Upper Midwest, some snow today or sleet, don't love that. But recognizing just sort of the, the energy and enthusiasm that comes with new life. So I'm with the SLU soccer team. They lose their conference final on Sunday, kind of going into selection Monday. The sense was maybe less than a 50% chance of getting in the tournament. Um, I think we were kind of like sort of resigned and thinking like that was a real possibility that we didn't. Uh, the last team called in the tournament field was St. Louis University. And so. And then I, you know, I've been at training the last 2 days and there's just a new life. There's a new enthusiasm. It's sort of kind of, you know, like back from the dead, you know. And it's the sense of like, well, today is no different than yesterday. And each day we, we have that opportunity of, of, of how do we frame and how do we think about the day that's in front of us, right? Do we see it just as an endless continuation of, of whatever the previous day was, or do we really wake up with this This idea with this approach of, wow, today, today is a brand new day. So what do I want to do with it? How do I want to carry myself? Can I bring enthusiasm and energy and positivity to whatever I'm doing today? As if we were just given new life. And that's the reality. Every morning we wake up, we were given new life. We're waking up. So what are we going to choose to do with it? So that's your moment of yes for today, right? You were given new life if you're watching this video. What are you going to do with it? Who are you going to bless? Who are you going to help? And, um, yeah, do it on purpose.
