“Faith is taking the first step even when you can’t see the whole staircase.”

— Martin Luther King

On December 31, 2021, I published a post focused on how we are all prepared for greatness in 2022. Please check it out below.

Here it is my halftime of 2022 lesson: Belief matters.

• Believe in yourself.

• Believe in others especially when they don’t believe in themselves.

• Belief in something bigger than yourself is the keystone to longterm vitality.

• Suspend your disbelief in yourself today.

  • Silence the voice of judgement in your head.

  • Take a leap knowing you will be okay even if you fail.

• Suspend your disbelief in someone close to you.

  • Empower their dreams with you faith.

• Suspend your disbelief that you can make a difference in our broken world.

  • Believe your individual efforts will make someone or something better.

That’s my halftime lesson.

I hope to build on this lesson in the second half of this year.

Post in the comments below what lessons you have learned so far in 2022.

Here is the post from Dec. 31, 2021:

We are all prepared for greatness in 2022.

• We have been working toward this exact time our entire lives.

• We have enjoyed times of triumph.

• We endured times of pain, adversity and uncertainty.

• We have worked hard and accomplished much.

• We have also worked hard and failed.

Some of our dreams have come true.

Some dreams are still on the horizon.

Some dreams seem out of reach or even impossible.

Pause for a moment today and think.

Turn your phone OFF for 20 minutes.

Sit down with a piece of paper and a pen.

Write down what life has prepared you to do in ’22.

I think we are all prepared for greatness.

My Stanford vitality students taught me the meaning of greatness this fall.

• Greatness doesn’t have to be launching a rocket ship to Mars or curing cancer.

• Greatness comes in taking care of a sick child, parent or friend.

• Greatness comes in making sacrifices to help others in need.

• Greatness comes in believing in yourself and others.

• Greatness comes in being thankful for what you have.

• Greatness comes when you seek growth from pain.

• Greatness comes when you embrace the Three Princes of Serendip.

• Greatness comes when faith conquers fear.

Nourish yourself today with the knowledge you are prepared for greatness in ’22.

Please comment below how you are prepared for greatness next year.
