Solutions and Resolutions. Adaptions and Adoptions. Change and exchange.

Solutions,
Resolutions.
Adaptions,
Adoptions.
Change,
exchange.

Insead of being overwhelmed
when there is a problem,
I can change something. 
I can adapt my methods,
Or
I can adopt a new tactic,
Or
I can change a little ritual,
Or
I can exchange one way of doing it for another,
until 
a change for the better is happening.
Yes, routine.
But sometimes I'm doing the wrong routine. 
Yes, consistency. 
But sometimes I'm focusing on the wrong things. 
Yes accountability.
But not to the point of unattainable. 
It's hard (for me) to admit defeat,
to accept failure, 
to try again a different way
(Because usually, The Way I Know,
that is The Best Way.)
But, again,
Why am I here?
                    •To do things my way?
                    •To benefit me?
No.
Because of children, now my students.
Because of the future of my world.
Because of the future of my faith.
Mostly, because of God.
So, tomorrow,
when I'm fighting the change I need to make,
Sighing, at the thought of all the work
I'll need to do to make this work,
Discouraged because there seems to be no solutions 
to a certain child's seemingly hopeless bad habits,
I need to ask myself the question,
Why am I here?
That will help me remember my students,
Inspire me to review and refocus
Push me to rearrange my priorities
