Old story: “Oh my gosh, I’ve got too much to do,” or, “Oh my gosh, here comes another meeting I can barely fit in,” and then, “I blew it,” or, “I can’t do this.” New story: “Wow, I’m fortunate to finally get to realize my goal of making a difference in higher education and in students’ lives. It may feel tough sometimes, but this won’t last forever, and it’s what I wanted all my life, and although I’m really busy now, I’m going to enjoy it while it lasts.”
