For the second article, I chose, “How to Live With Purpose, Identify Your Values and Improve Your Leadership”. This was written by Anne Loehr. When I read the quote of her saying, “It’s vitally important to me to try new things, make mistakes, be creative and have a sense of personal and professional adventure every day.” I think that this is so important in life because it’s hard to go forward without going backwards. I say this because I can relate this quote back to myself rehabbing from Tommy John surgery right now. There are some days where I try new things in terms of strengthening so that I can keep going ahead. Contrast, there are also some days where there’s pain that’s very noticeable, but I just need to fight through it. There are some days, where I am not where I want to be, but those types of days are the days where I feel like I have learned the most about myself and my body in terms of what I need to do to get to where the next level or the next stage is. I believe that Anne speaks with passion, and it was very interesting to read this article of living with a purpose and improving your leadership. She emphasizes that it is important to know your own personal values so that you can use those values to find your purpose. Anne did a very nice job on this article and it inspired me to get my work done today!
