In our office, we share the morning meeting floor. Meaning: I run the meeting Monday and Thursday, Jessica runs Tuesday, Ashley runs Wednesday. We go over yearly goals, daily goals, (root and fruit… root goals are our purpose, passions, focus, intent. Fruit goals are things we can measure to see how well we are tending to our root goals) Miracle Moments (things patients say about how well we have impacted their lives, for instance Ed C stated yesterday that this past weekend was the first weekend he was able to sit through church without excruciating pain in months), and whomever is running the meeting brings an inspirational quote, song, poem, etc as well.

This week has been different. We still have one meeting leader, but each of us have been bringing inspirational things (we haven’t set 2nd quarter goals yet, we have our 2nd quarter meeting Monday after the seminar we are attending this weekend).

So, without further ado, here are the three motivational things we shared today:

Paraphrased from the book “Atomic Habits” by James Clear:

A University of Florida photography professor divided his groups into 2 groups. Group 1 would be graded on the quantity of pictures they took (100) and group 2 would be graded on the quality of pictures they took (1 each). Conventional wisdom would say group 2 would take the best picture because they could focus on it more, while group 1 would probably spend time taking pictures of their friends’ feet or etc. At the end of the semester, the professor found group 1 had much better pictures than group 2. Why? They were able to experiment, enjoy taking multiple pictures and learn from their mistakes.

Takeaway: Have fun attempting new things, there aren’t any failures, just learning experiences toward your best YOU!
