 It seems appropriate to discuss cultivation at the start of April. Just as we prepare lawns and flower beds with water and fertilizer for the coming season, we also need to cultivate character for the coming challenges. There are many parallels. As we go about our daily work, we're preparing ourselves for the next challenge because you want to look, your lawn to look its best, you prepare for the summer heat. Similarly, you should prepare yourself for challenges to your character. The challenges are not as predictable since you can't schedule them on a calendar. Instead, your daily habits, the small decisions you make every day, can make a difference when you assume a position of greater responsibility or when you're challenged with a significant dilemma. Lead well this week.
