Magnanimity means great-heartedness. A person is magnanimous, in the words of Josef Pieper, “if he has the courage to seek what is great and becomes worthy of it.” Both Aristotle and Aquinas call this the “jewel of all virtues.”
If I happen to win the #Powerball lottery, you'll never know. And retweeting this won't get you shit. I will go so far off the radar people will forget I even existed.
Greatness isn’t achieved by worrying what everyone thinks of you. Don’t look outside. The praise, criticism, expectations; it’s all just noise. Look inside to your heart and soul and do your thing. Do it with love and create greatness from the inside out.
speaking from experience and
continuously thanking my dad for it,
moving up age groups made me fall in
love with the sport more. I wasn't
challenged in my age group. playing
up two years from age 8 prepared me
for high school szn to later start

Note to educators in mainstream
When working with Autistic children, your relationship with them is EVERYTHING.
Not social skills training, not now and next boards, not laminated sheets.
Your relationship, letting them know they are 'safe' in your class, can be the difference
photography is different. we can take a small tool with us wherever we go and freeze time with it. literally freeze time.
in less than a second, we can capture a memory and make it tangible or keep it on a screen to browse through at a later date. that’s powerful.
Parents when you allow your children to play sports, you agree to allow coaches to help instill discipline, respect, responsibility, accountability and honesty in them. Some of the most valuable lessons taught in sports, have nothing to do with playing the actual sport. #Ap2w
Ladies in the sports industry... PLEASE make sure we are open and candid with each other about work environments we’ve experienced/experiencing!
So when jobs open up we aren’t going into bad situations blindly. Protect each other from toxic work environments and toxic people.
Haha, I’ve thought about what sort of vacation I’d like to take, and came to a ridiculous conclusion: I’d kill for a basketball camp for adults, or some sort of get-in-shape retreat that also includes activities. Like those adult summer camps, but with a fitness focus.
kindness is free. if you want drama, watch a lifetime movie. 2+ creative brains working together is more productive than 1. the universe is abundant in opportunities especially creating art to inspire others.
Some Photographers still need to understand: other Photographers aren’t a threat to you. See them as likeminded people and a chance to help you/learn from. Lift them up, help them and be kind. I learned this as a kid already: be kind to others, if you expect kindness in return.
