Grit is not the absence of fear.
It's the acknowledgement of it and having the willingness to still act.
It's being uncertain of an outcome, but remaining dedicated to it.
It's allowing the potential for failure in order to achieve success.
30 years ago I was the starting QB at Utah State University. My senior year I got benched. For the next 15 years I walked around feeling like a certified loser. Then I read this quote from Pat Summitt:
'Winning is fun… Sure. But winning is not the point.
Wanting to win is the point.
Not giving up is the point.
Never letting up is the point.
Never being satisfied with what you’ve done is the point.'
It snapped me out of it. If you’re still carrying a sports setback, a benching, a missed opportunity, or any “I’m not enough” story… this is your permission slip to drop it. The game isn’t over. Your story is not yet written. You are still a work in progress. The point is you keep wanting it. You keep getting up. And you listen to that quiet voice that says, "I will try again tomorrow."

Insurance Myth Mondays
Myth: The auto insurance required by Texas law covers damage to my car.
Fact: The liability coverage required by Texas law only covers repairs or expenses associated with the other driver’s car. To cover your vehicle, you need to add collision coverage.
Celebrating Pentecost this Sunday morning I found myself reflecting on all the negative thoughts and images that fill our TV,papers and social media platforms and yet we never seem to hear what is good with our world.. I found this passage for set the tone for the day.🙏🏽🤘🏽
This hurricane season, be a best friend to an elderly family member or neighbor by talking with them about severe weather and how to prepare for it. Help them create a list of medications and important contacts. Have a plan to check on them during an emergency. #BestFriendsDay

Importance of NOTHING.
You're entitled to NOTHING.
Nobody owes you NOTHING.
You can have talent, but you if don't have discipline-and execute-what do you get? NOTHING.
NOTHING is acceptable, but your best.
Everything is determined by what you do-there should be NOTHING else
"We are raising mentally weak children.
If you do too much for your children, you are increasing your self-esteem by stealing theirs.
We develop mental toughness by solving problems.
Let them begin to figure our their problems rather than being overly involved with them."
Want the hard truth?
For 95.3% of us:
We can hit a million golf balls
play 10,000 rounds
take 1,000 lessons…
And will never have a swing as good as this 3 year old…

Happy Friday!
The scoreboard should never influence your character.
“You lost the game. Doesn't mean you just get to leave. You shake hands. It's what you do. That's sportsmanship,” You lose, you go out there, and it's not fun, but that's part of life,” Kenny Dillingham
