[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Nick Saban delivers a lecture on the importance of nothing and why you're entitled to exactly that.

"You get up every day, you're entitled to nothing. Nobody owes you nothing."

"You could have talent, but if you don't have discipline, and you don't execute, you don't focus - what do you get? Nothing."

"If you're complacent and not paying attention to detail, what does that get you? Nothing."

Everything is earned.

"So nothing is acceptable but your best."

"Everything is determined by what you do and you trying to be your best so that you can build on positive performance."

The standard is simple.

It means show up, do the work, and earn it every day.

This moved me!

Fear is often mistaken for danger.

But sometimes fear is simply a signal that the opportunity is large enough to change your life.

When Coach P. J. Fleck (@Coach_Fleck) was deciding whether to leave comfort for a bigger challenge, his wife asked one question:

“Does it scare you?”

“Hell yeah.”

Her response:

“We’re going.” 🦫

Coach Fleck says there is a difference between making a living and building a life.

A living is what you earn. 💵

A life is what you create. 🏡

The decisions that scare you most often ask you to trade short-term comfort for long-term meaning.

If it scares you, it means it matters.

Growth rarely feels comfortable.

Fear is not always a warning.

Sometimes it is an invitation to build a life bigger than the one you’ve settled for.

@GopherFootball has a great one. ⬇️
