Undrafted…
I get it. Not being drafted sucks. The whole thing isn’t a dream for us. They don’t invite guys like us to the draft. Hell, most of us don’t even throw get togethers, and the ones that do are pissed off they did. Just because you weren’t picked doesn’t mean that you aren’t chosen…. The beauty is you now have a chance to make this a chapter in a story that empowers.
It won’t be easy. This journey can be lonely. People will over look you… if you let them. No one will stand on the table for you… until you make them. I wish I could tell you if you’re good enough you’ll make it, but I can’t. And you know that, but I do know if you don’t work your ass off you might as well not show up.
Things don’t go perfectly for us but it doesn’t mean you won’t be great. You could go from bagging groceries to the Hall of fame, win Super Bowls with your legs, or get cut more times than you can count and still have one of the most phenomenal plays in Super Bowl History! Shoot maybe even two of you can share an iconic moment.
You have a chance, & that chance is now. Walk into the building knowing you belong, but work like you’re the only one who knows that. Remember, just because you weren’t picked doesn’t mean you aren’t chosen. I wore it on my chest for 13 years to remind me, I wear it on my back now to remind you. Best of luck fellas. See y’all soon.
My bible says God uses the foolish things to confound the wise & he chose the weak things of the world that he may put to shame the strong! Please know God ain't done & God is just really getting started. Enjoy this lesson & stop stressing. #CoachPrime
Let's stop wasting time, energy, emotions & Love on things & people that ain't worthy. It's on us to choose better than we've been choosing & please Lord direct us to a person with positive motives & Love in their heart & soul. Help us do better with our time & Hearts. #CoachPrime
God is saying to you today, this week will be filled with jaw dropping blessings, Open doors, Healing, Financial growth, & God's favor. Trust Me. I love you."
When you live by faith, you walk with a guarantee of an end result. No matter how rocky or stormy it gets in the process, I got a word on where I’m going and I know how this will end.
I want to congratulate my good friend, former NBA champion, and NBA All Star Mark Aguirre for being name special assistant to athletic director DeWayne Peevy! There’s no one who loves DePaul University more than Mark and he’s been dreaming about the opportunity to return to DePaul for over 15 years. Thank you to President Robert L. Manuel and Athletic Director Peevy. You could not have chosen a better man and person than my great friend Mark Aguirre!
As long as Satan can keep you from praying, he is satisfied that he has diminished your role in this kingdom battle. When you pray, you usher in spiritual solutions to the problems at hand.
I PRAY that GOD REMOVES everyone in your life who secretly gossips about you, puts you down, doesn't want to see you win and REPLACE them with people who genuinely support you and want to see you happy and blessed.
