Looking back, it's crazy how much hate @TimTebow endured for being relentlessly earnest & unashamed about his faith.
In reality, he was just ahead of the curve.
Look at his life now:
-Caring for special needs children
-Rescuing kids from s*x slavery
We need more Tebows.
According to Neuroscience, if you repeat these 3 phrases each morning, you will start to rewire your brain to become more positive, confident, and grateful
1. “Show me how good today gets.”
This activates your brain’s R.A.S to notice more opportunities.
2. “I’m grateful for…”
Gratitude increases dopamine shifting your nervous system into a more regulated, positive state.
3. “I can handle anything that comes my way today.”
This builds self efficacy and reduces threat response to your brain.
Major cheat code in life: Be the one who reaches out. Text first. Call first. Plan first. Initialize first. Most people wait to be chosen. Be the chooser. Connection requires initiative. Friendship requires effort. Love requires action. Stop waiting to be picked. Start picking. Initiative is attractive.
Iman Shumphert tells story of what LeBron told the team on the bus when down 3-1 to Golden State 😳
“The reason we was so calm, when Bron was on that bus and saying like ‘if we beat them here, then they mindset gonna be this, this, and this, and this is gonna happen, and we’ll come back and do this, then we’ll come back here for game 7, and that’s when we send they ass home!’ This n**** done simulated the season on his phone or something. We all got quiet and I see everybody in their mind go like ‘He’s right.’… Then Draymond got kicked out the game, then game 6 they wasn’t talking! That was the quietest game we ever played. That man had everybody on the bus puzzled, we looking at him, then I start thinking about it, ain’t nobody in this league been through this sh*t more than this man right here. This man knows coaching styles now. This man talked to me about what Mark Jackson had them do, but what Steve Kerr now has them doing and how we’re going to take advantage of this because this is what Steve Kerr principles are”

Donovan on his 100th, 30-point game as a Cavalier:
"Hopefully I get 100, 200 more, that's the goal. ... I love being here, I love being a part of this group, love being part of this organization and this city. To see the crowd we have on the road, a lot of Cavs fans. Before I got here, I didn't realize how many people were actually from Ohio. To hear that everywhere I go is special."
