"Life is all about habits and choices and decisions.
When you have the right habits, you tend to make better decisions and choices.
It's going to go a long way in determining what kind of person you are and how successful you are."

Proverbs 12:27
“The lazy do not roast any game, but the diligent feed on the riches of the hunt.”

[Coach Dan Casey @CoachDanCasey]

“Gentlemen, we will relentlessly chase perfection, knowing full well we won't catch it because nothing is perfect.

But we are going to relentlessly chase it because in the process... we will catch excellence.”

- Vince Lombardi

[Tim Tebow @TimTebow]

When we rest in who we are in Christ, we don’t have to protect our image.
We can confront our weaknesses, take intentional steps forward, and serve boldly without fear.

This December, as you reflect on the year, ask yourself:
Are you walking from worth or chasing approval?
Your identity is settled. Your purpose is waiting.

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Kara Lawson said, "Don’t give me the power to affect your self-esteem and who you are as a person."

"Don’t let me control whether you’re going to have a good day."

Confidence comes from within. Not from approval.

It's the feeling that you're capable.

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

Parents…don’t protect your kids from the struggle.

Struggle is how they grow.
How they learn perseverance.
How they build grit.

Every tough coach, missed shot, and hard practice is a chance to develop resilience.

“The gift my father gave me every day of my life was he believed in me. My father believed in me, he believed in me when I failed. When I didn’t measure up to my standard or someone else’s standard he’d look me in the eye and he’d say you’re going to make it,” Jim Valvano
