Reputation is borrowed.
Character is owned.

John Wooden put it perfectly:
“Your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.”

[Kevin DeShazo @KevinDeShazo]

You can choose to be positive.
You can choose to be hopeful.
You can choose to be confident.
You can choose to be joyful.
You can choose to be grateful.

Nobody can choose it for you. Don’t blame others for what you control.

Take ownership.

This is Game 106 of the Orioles' season.

PLAYERS: A bad coach doesn't make you have a bad attitude. A good coach doesn't make you have a good attitude. Only you can choose your attitude. Circumstances may make things harder or easier but not impossible or automatic. Your attitude shouldn't be situational.

Alright @ACCFootball let’s take a look at this photo and you explain to me how #9 doesn’t have possession after it was called a TD on the field?

Absolute hack job. Complete sellouts.

[Josiah Somers @Josomers10]

No way the ACC would ever let their little darling lose a game…

Can we talk about this @CanesFootball @HokiesFB finish last night... 🤯

11 years ago, Nate Oats was a high school basketball coach & math teacher outside Detroit.

He sold Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, Capri Suns and Pop-Tarts out of his office to fundraise for his team.

Now, he's taking Alabama to its 1st Final Four ever.

How's that for perseverance? 🫡

[Baltimore Orioles @Orioles]

They picked out a home and called it "Holliday House"

[Eric Garfield @Eric_Birdland]

The future of Birdland is on display! Jackson Holliday triples to score Enrique Bradfield and tie the game at 5. O’s have so much talent it’s everywhere! #futurestars #runproduction

Control the Controllable.

Control…

- Your Words
- Your Actions
- Your Choices
- Your Priorities
- What you Read
- What you Watch
- Who you Forgive
- Your Daily Habits
- Who you Hang With
- How you Care for Yourself
- How you Speak to Yourself

Mindset Matters.

What is the Cost of Leadership?

It costs $0 to say “hello.”
It costs $0 to pick up trash
It costs $0 to say “please.”
It costs $0 to be kind
It costs $0 to say “thank you.”
It costs $0 to encourage others
It costs $0 to smile

Lead by Example.

It costs nothing.
