CHARLIE KIRK: "If the most important thing for you is just FEELING good, you're gonna end up miserable. But if the most important thing is DOING good, you'll end up purposeful.
Purpose will give you happiness."
Luke Falk shared a Mike Leach story that stopped me cold:
Two kids. One rich. One poor.
Every training camp, Coach Leach told his team about these 2 kids.
The rich kid has two choices.
Get soft. Get entitled. Expect everything handed to him because he was handed more.
Or take the resources, the coaching, the opportunities, and compound them into something greater.
The poor kid has two choices too.
Say nobody gave him anything. Blame the world. Make his circumstances the reason he never became what he could have been.
Or outwork everyone in the room.
Luke said the locker room had both. Kids from wealth. Kids from nothing. Kids with every advantage. Kids who scraped for every inch.
Same choice for all of them.
Ownership or victimhood.
Fuel or excuse.
The rich kid can waste the head start or build on it.
The poor kid can drown in the deficit or weaponize it.
Greatness doesn't come from where you start.
It comes from which kid you choose to feed.

“ Character can be one of the biggest components in sports. If you’ve got great character, you’re connected, you’ve got a chance,” Jerrod Calhoun
Winning begins with who you are and how you treat everyone around you.
Character makes a difference.
“I don’t want you to like me today…..I want you to love me in a couple years.”
Coaches would rather push you today than apologize for not preparing you for tomorrow.
Great leaders don’t lower the standard; they raise the person.
Chuck Norris died yesterday at 86.
The internet will spend the next 72 hours posting roundhouse kick memes.
Nobody’s going to talk about the thing that mattered most to him.
He was a Christian.
Saved at 12 years old. Baptized at Calvary Baptist Church. Attended a Billy Graham crusade and recommitted his life to Christ.
His mother raised him alone in Oklahoma. Dirt poor. Father was a drunk who left. She had nothing but a Bible and a prayer life that wouldn’t quit. Told him every single day: “God has a plan for you.”
He strayed in Hollywood. First marriage fell apart. Fame rotted the inside while the outside looked invincible.
Then God gave him a second chance. He came home to Christ through his wife, Gena. Joined Prestwood Baptist Church in Dallas. Fought to put the Bible back in public schools. Created a foundation that embedded biblical principles in 6,500 schools.
He stood in front of cameras and said, “We are unashamed Christians. Our faith is the primary anchor for our souls.”
In a town that hates the name of Jesus, he said it anyway.
2 Timothy 4:7 — “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.”
Rest in peace, Chuck. Your mother’s prayers held.
