President Carrie Lucas’ Message to The Membership

20 WAYS TO GET

MENTALLY TOUGH

1. When you face a setback, think of it as a defining moment that will lead to a future

accomplishment.

2. When you encounter adversity, remember, the best don’t just face adversity; they embrace it,

knowing it’s not a dead end but a detour to something greater and better.

3. When you face negative people, know that the key to life is to stay positive in the face of

negativity, not in the absence of it. After all, everyone will have to overcome negativity to define

themselves and create their success.

4. When you face the naysayer’s, remember the people who believed in you and spoke positive

words to you.

5. When you face critics, remember to tune them out and focus only on being the best you can

be.

6. When you wake up in the morning, take a morning walk of gratitude and prayer. It will create

a fertile mind ready for success.

7. When you fear, trust. Let your faith be greater than your doubt.

8. When you fail, find the lesson in it, and then recall a time when you have succeeded.

9. When you head into battle, visualize success.

10. When you are thinking about the past or worrying about the future, instead focus your energy

on the present moment. The now is where your power is the greatest.

11. When you want to complain, instead identify a solution.

Weekly Message Number 12

12. When your own self-doubt crowds your mind, weed it and replace it with positive thoughts

and positive self-talk.

13. When you feel distracted, focus on your breathing, observe your surroundings, clear your

mind, and get into The Zone. The Zone is not a random event. It can be created.

14. When you feel all is impossible, know that with God all things are possible.

15. When you feel alone, think of all the people who have helped you along the way and who

love and support you now.

16. When you feel lost, pray for guidance.

17. When you are tired and drained, remember to never, never, never give up. Finish Strong in

everything you do.

18. When you feel like you can’t do it, know that you can do all things through God who gives

you strength.

19. When you feel like your situation is beyond your control, pray and surrender. Focus on what

you can control and let go of what you can’t.

20. When you're in a high-pressure situation and the game is on the line, and everyone is

watching you, remember to smile, have fun, and enjoy it. Life is short; you only live once. You

have nothing to lose. Seize the moment.

BE YOURSELF

People would rather follow a leader who is always real than one who is always right.

It is imperative that we continue to put our best efforts forth to slow the spread of COVID-19.

Wear your mask around others as you would have others wear their mask around you. Public

Health preventative measures are and will continue to play a vital role in reducing the

transmission and spread of COVID-19. Continue to practice preventative and safety measures

that will help prevent the spread of the virus. If you leave home, know your Ws!

• Wear a cloth face covering if you will be with other people

• Wait 6 feet apart. Avoid close contact.

• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer.

These actions can protect our families and neighbors as the state takes a cautious step forward to

ease restrictions while the virus is still circulating.
