Adversity Meet Persistence; Persistence Meet Destiny.

What a tremendous place to live here in the beautiful City of Calgary! What other city can you see across the golden prairies and watch a magnificent sunrise and then, in the evening, witness a glorious sunset to the West that perches itself between the peaks of the majestic Rocky Mountains. This unique magnificence not only resides in natures beauty but also in the hearts of all Calgarians. We forge through rivers and streams, up mountains, and through the wind of the prairies. And always, the heart beats the same. Adversity meet persistence; persistence meet destiny!

Calgary Rising Strong Motivation Map Solutions Believes In You

In this great energy centre we create and facilitate, we have seen some tough times this last year. There is no doubt about the effect of it on every front. Through the insurmountable pain that has affected a good portion of the “human treasury” of this great city and province, I maintain we are the front runners and game changers in this great nation we call Canada. The true North strong and free! As human beings, we can get so caught up in the “human doing” all for the sake of productivity and monetary gain. We can find ourselves on a runaway train that subtly neglects the human heart and the value of being acknowledged as unique and mysteriously complex people who make up this lovely city. Without the human heart beating with every pulse of the energy waves Calgary and Alberta is known for, we become just a bunch of empty roadways and buildings that lay dormant and have no life. It is the very essence of the inter-connectivity in all of us that pulsates and gives this city energy. Not the production of energy! In the words of a man I so admire, Richard Branson, “Clients do not come first. Employees come first. If you take care of your employees, they will take care of the clients.”

What a great gift, and yes, sometimes gifts cannot initially be seen behind the cloud of pain and suffering. However, we seem to have been given the first opportunity to plough out the old seeds that have been tainted with greed. We can now focus on the gift of rebuilding strategically with the deliberation of seeing the human heart and putting humanity first. We are the human treasury not human capital, which is inanimate and expendable. We need to do more than say we care about our employees; although, this is where everything begins. “Words may start the fire, but it is a constancy of action, not perfection, that builds the internal roar of the furnace and transfers the ever growing warmth that spreads throughout the land and brings inspiration in every direction.” Calgary, this is your destiny! Time to rise again, rise strong, and be resilient. This time, we will build our people, our people will build people, and the synergy of the inter-connected warmth of the human heart will truly beat at the centre of the Oilfield PULSE of this great city and province.
