1. Avoid the “I’ll be happy sometime syndrome.” In other words people who suffer from this malady are thinking that a better day will come when something in the future happens. For example they will be happy when:
• they get a raise
• spring finally arrives
• they have their first child
• their child starts school
• their child finally graduates from college
• when they go on vacation
• when they retire
My point is, these people live their lives on “some day I’ll”. They are always complaining about the present moment, and therefore, not capable of living in and enjoying the present moment.
2. Next avoid associating with members of the “Chicken Little Club”. These are the card carrying, dues paying bringers of doom and gloom. They will tell you about all the things wrong with your school system. They will go on and on about how bad things are, and how bad they are going to get.
3. Finally, remember there is no Lone Ranger coming to your rescue, but there are Tontos. What I mean by that is, there are people who will help you overcome the challenges your school district is facing. Tontos could come in the form of individuals on your team helping each other. It could come in the form of outside consultants that you hire. It could come from the business community. Tontos could come from a number of different places. My point is, there are people willing to help your school district, but, no one who will just take away all you problems.
