Jaime Jackson Safety Blog: IF YOU FELL DOWN YESTERDAY STAND UP TODAY
IF YOU FELL DOWN YESTERDAY STAND UP TODAY
“If you fell down yesterday, stand up today.”
H.G. Wells
We all fall. Some of us more than others. It is after the fall where
we are most able to rise and stand tall. It is like a springboard effect
where sometimes it takes descending into our darkest hour to bounce
back up somewhere over the rainbow. Dare greatly. We learn what
we can and keep going. You cannot win if you do not get in the ring.
When you get in the ring sometimes you fall. You get knocked down.
You stumble. You fall on your own. Inevitably we will go down. Will
you get back up? Refuse to give yourself permission to be defeated.
You were not the best version of yourself yesterday, but can you be
today? Where can you improve? What can you learn? What can you
do better? Do not get knocked down twice for the same reason. No
matter what stand up today!

Jaime Jackson Safety Blog: CHALLENGES
CHALLENGES
“Everything negative - pressure, challenges
- is all an opportunity for me to rise.”
Kobe Bryant
Life is but a series of challenges. Challenge yourself daily. Get out
of your comfort zone. Push to new heights. What may seem like a
challenge today may seem like old hat or a walk in the park tomorrow.
This certainly holds true for physical challenges because you can feel
it. You can eventually see it and measure it. Heavier weights. More
reps. More miles. Faster miles. Feeling better. But so too for the social
challenges. The intellectual challenges. They may be harder to see,
feel, or measure, but it is true. Seek out new challenges. Welcome
challenges when they come to you. Embrace the challenge. Do the
work. Do what needs to be done to work through any challenge that
you have the good fortune to come your way! Embrace the suck!
Overcome and triumph!

Jaime Jackson Safety Blog: TINY MATTERS
TINY MATTERS
“What lies behind us and what lies before us are
tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“We have nothing to fear but fear itself”
Franklin Delano Roosevelt
“We suffer more in our imagination than in reality.”
Seneca
“No amount of worry is going to change what will happen.”
Alan Watts
We beat ourselves up over what is in the past, looking through our
retro scope with feelings of guilt and regret. We stress, worry, and fear
what may or may not happen in the future. We must plan and prepare
for the future for sure, but what we have within us, what we have in the
present, in the now is really the only thing we are guaranteed and have
control over. If we focus on what we have at our fingertips, what is in
front of us now, not worrying about what can be stressful distractions,
fretting over stuff that may never come to fruition. There is no solution
or fix like doing the work. Stress is like a weight: when we pick it up
and do the work, we get stronger. So too does our internal fortitude.
Find the drive and follow that feeling.

THE BIGGEST SMALL THINGS
“If you focus on the little things, the big
things will take care of themselves.”
Joe Paterno
Dream big. Set goals. Why does it always have to be so extreme or
grandiose? Sometimes we need to cut out all this, win big or go home
mind set. Get the job done. Do your work. Pay attention to the details,
but it does not always need to be perfect, sometimes perfection is the
enemy of progress. Sometimes we just need to check off the boxes
and get the job done. The biggest goal of them all is getting the little
goals done. Getting the little jobs done. A masterpiece painting begins
with the first brushstroke. A 500-page novel begins with the first word.
Planning is good for sure, but sometimes maybe we just need to lace
up the shoes and get out the door. Create some stress, pressure, get
the work done, step by step, piece by piece, brick by brick. Create
your masterpiece one small step at a time.
