Potential is Always Bigger Than Problem! 

"Potential is Always Bigger than the Problem." I heard this quote recently and like many profound quotes that I hear, I wrote it down. In the current state of the world, it can be easy to focus on the pandemic and allow it to force us into negative thinking.  In life, we often focus on the problems we encounter or the problems we foresee. Yet, concentrating on the negative can often cause you to become stuck and unable to develop or tap into the infinite potential that we all possess.

This is often the case in the realm of education as well. Unfortunately, we encounter many different challenges that often change the course of our school year. We begin the year with a multitude of goals, but life has a way of interrupting the best made plans, such is the case with the Corona-virus pandemic. We are faced with a significant challenge that is constantly changing the scope of how we currently live and how the education system functions. To say that that the Corona-Virus has "thrown us for a loop," is an understatement. Yet, educators  are known for exhibiting flexibility and it has been amazing to see the teamwork and camaraderie that many have shown in our schools. This shows that our potential is always bigger than the problem. We are greater when we operate collectively to achieve common goals. Life may have thrown us for a loop, but it also has a way of forcing us to connect and cooperate in ways that has drawn us back to what matters most in life and hopefully compels us to see that our collective potential is bigger than our current problem.
