Halftime of 2024

As we are just past halftime of 2024, you might be wrestling with a few competing narratives. One might be “Oh my gosh! Where did the first half of the year go – I’ve got so much to do still!”, or another might be “Hurry up already! Let’s get on with the second half of the year and keep up the positive momentum I’ve generated!”   

Much like halftime of a sporting event, you might be eager to get back to the game because your team is crushing it in the first half, or, on the flip side, you might be struggling to perform and be happier if there were no second half to play at all.  What’s interesting about either narrative is that they require a sense of commitment and faith.   

Commitment supports self-discipline and persistence, allowing us to push through challenges and perform at our best even outside our comfort zones. Faith can also provide inner strength to withstand turmoil, and practicing faith can enhance our overall well-being by giving us direction, security, and positivity in our daily lives.   

Regardless of where you find yourself at the mid-way point of 2024 – staying committed and faithful to sustain your positive momentum or to completely shake things up can provide the intentionality and focus necessary to win the second half.   

At Production Solutions, one of our initiatives for 2024 has been to initiate rapid change while being less defensive and less overly cautious.  This has required us all to operate with commitment and faith and to be okay with not knowing what will occur from the change while encouraging each other to get comfortable with being uncomfortable.  Our narrative to support this has been: to commit to initiating rapid change to deepen our faith in our company’s ability to be ready for bigger changes when they arrive.   

Continue initiating positive change and trust that the results will follow!
