But if you are not ready don’t. In May 1992 I graduated from Northern Illinois University with a B.S. in Community Health Promotion, minor in Health Ed., specializing in wellness programs. Most of my upper level classes centered around program development and management. If I excelled in both areas academically (3.98 gpa) it was the development side that really fired up my grill.
But I have had plenty of opportunities on the management side. More than almost everyone on the running side. And every time I have agreed to grab a bull by the horns I’ve been In It To Win It. Passionate. Committed. My resume chock full of programs that I’ve felt worthy enough to dedicate the necessary time and effort to make sure the successful vision of the venture is accommodated. Programs that appear on my resume because they were So Much A Part of My Life. Enough so.
Whatever time. Whatever energy. Whatever sacrifice. Whatever obstacles.
You don’t have time for a program because you have a life? Well, hopefully we all find our passion in life that will allow us to dig deeper, and serve more, than we ever thought possible. Mine has been running. Who next will step forward for the mantle?
