Today I wanna challenge you to come up
with a family mantra, okay?
A family mantra is just something that we say.
Maybe you have a few things that you say as a family, right?
Things like, we can do hard things.
Or things like, we can figure this out.
Things like, we're in this together, right?
Ideas that we can repeat
that actually form a sense of family identity.
Mantras are used in lots of different religious
and philosophical schools of thought
as ways of grounding us and focusing our attention
on what we believe in.
And as a way of forming our identity and our sense of self.
What could be more powerful than raising our children
with certain phrases that shape their view of the world
and their view of our families as a unit?
We're the CEOs, right?
CEOs come up with taglines, with mission statements,
with vision boards, with values that guide their team
and their company towards a specific goal
that help everybody get on board with what we're doing.
You know, why are we here?
Why did we organize as this team?
Well, why did we organize as a family
is an equally important question.
When you have a family mantra,
you're able to focus yourselves in that direction.
So, what is your family mantra gonna be?
Maybe it's just the word love or love and peace.
Maybe it's something around how we stay
and figure things out.
We don't leave, we don't walk off.
Even when things are tough,
when the going gets tough, we stay, right?
There are so many things that it might be for you guys
and it could be several.
But what I wanna challenge you to do is to write it down.
Now, if you have some kind of fancy calligraphy skills,
bust them out, make a poster, make it beautiful.
But if not, just get a Post-it note
and scribble it on there for us to see.
We all wanna see inspiring family mantras specifically
that can get us through tough times, through crises,
through adaptable and resilient and adjustable times
that demand flexibility from us,
that demand that we work as a team.
What could be some mantras that uplift us,
that help us as parents, that help us as families,
that help us with siblings or within ourselves?
I would love for you to share those out
and let's inspire each other.
Use the hashtag playpandemic
and don't forget to tag all your friends
so that they're inspired too.
We're about to open the doors to Present Play
and I'm gonna tell you all about that
in the upcoming videos and emails and Facebook posts.
We're gonna be plastering it everywhere
because Present Play is our flagship membership
where we help you to create family bliss.
I am so excited to be opening the doors this year
because it feels so much more important than ever before
and it's always felt important to me.
I am so excited to know that we can help thousands
of families around the world to create family bliss
even amidst crisis and such tragic
and difficult times out there.
We can still be the CEOs of in here
and in fact, we have to double down on that even more.
So more on that to come.
In the interim, let's really find these mantras
that are gonna inspire us
and let's share them out with everyone we know
so that we can spread the playpandemic
and counterattack the anxiety and the fear
that are swirling into chaos around us.
What is your mantra?
Let me see it.
