It was 16 years ago today that the world changed. Many of us still remember where we were when we heard the news of the attacks.

The world did absolutely change. But it didn’t end. America pulled together and picked itself up.
There have undoubtedly been many things since that day that have polarized the population of this great nation. However, together, we went through that tragedy as a nation. Because of that, we have a new identity as a nation. Now, America is a stronger, wiser, and more compassionate and understanding place.

That should inspire and motivate you.
Don’t let any tragedy or disaster, of even the greatest magnitude, put a stop to your efforts.
Get after it. Grind. Go be the best version of yourself you’ve ever been, no matter what. If you’ve been through the worst, you’re still here. Go get better.
