Every day, we proverbially pull our pants on one leg at a time, it is a metaphor for how we think about getting going and is a powerful reminder of the importance of personal accountability and collective responsibility. It’s about recognizing that our actions, decisions, and attitudes shape not only our own lives but also the world around us. When it comes down to us, we must ask ourselves how we contribute to our communities, how we support our teams, and how we uphold our values in every interaction. This phrase challenges us to reflect on our role in the grand tapestry of life, to step up with integrity and purpose, and to be the change we wish to see. By understanding that it ultimately comes down to us, we empower ourselves to take control of our destiny, to collaborate with empathy and respect, and to strive for excellence in all we do. It indeed should be a guiding principle in our high-performance journey; a true reminder that each of us holds the power to make a difference, and together, we can live a life of meaning and purpose.

Loving life when I count on myself
