The CK Daily – Comfortable being uncomfortable
Happy Friday, folks! A couple of weeks ago, I had the opportunity to serve in Honduras for a week. It was an incredible experience working with a team helping local farmers!
One of our goals in my family is for all of us to participate in a mission trip in 2023! Going on a trip (especially if it’s not local) really takes us out of our daily routine and comfort zone. It also provides an opportunity to walk in someone else’s shoes, develop relationships, and leave an impact. I went expecting to have an impact on the local community, which we did. However, I also walked away being impacted! I have a level of gratitude I didn’t have before the trip!
I’ve always heard that growth happens when you get comfortable being uncomfortable. Getting out of my comfort zone was uncomfortable, but it became a great experience! Is there something you’ve always wanted to do but haven’t been quite ready to do? Perhaps this is the year!
Feel free to reach out if you want to chat or want some encouragement to do something you have yet to do.

Product Spotlights & Updates
All of our premium cables are made with Corning ultra-pure glass fibers which ensure the highest degree of strength and purity to give you low attenuation and low signal loss for your whole network. Corning leads the industry in product quality and innovation, and we have brought these strengths into our premium cables.
Our premium OM3 fiber cables were created with those challenging fiber runs and environments in mind. Bend insensitive fiber (BIF) will transmit light with minimal loss even with bending and twisting beyond the normal bend radius of basic fiber cables. The ring of refraction material around the glass reflects light that is lost back into the core.
