Jim Carrey’s “The Grinch” is the only Grinch that matters. I will die on this Mount Crumpet Mountain.

"If you just want to be average then you do average work.
If you want to be a little bit above average, you do a little more work.
If you want A’s in basketball,you have to do stuff other people aren’t willing to do."
Everybody wants it.
Not everybody is willing to work for it.

At the airport the team had the honor of running into local legend and Former head Coach Al Sokaitis. Always great to meet people that had a positive impact on UAF athletics. Check out Coach Sokaitis’ Challenge Life Youth Foundation! Thank you for the threads!

I recently celebrated my 99th birthday and thus commenced my 100th year of living. I am often asked the secret to living so long. A better question would be, “What have I learned in nearly a century of living?”
I have learned that Heavenly Father’s plan for us is fabulous, that what we do in this life really matters, and that the Savior’s Atonement is what makes our Father’s plan possible.
Here is the great news of God’s plan: The very things that will make your mortal life the best it can be are exactly the same things that will make your life throughout all eternity the best it can be!

Mortality is a master class in learning to choose the things of greatest eternal import. Far too many people live as though this life is all there is. However, your choices today will determine three things: where you will live throughout eternity, the kind of body with which you will be resurrected, and those with whom you will live forever. So, think celestial.

When you make choices, I invite you to take the long view—an eternal view. Put Jesus Christ first, because your eternal life is dependent upon your faith in Him and in His Atonement. It is also dependent upon your obedience to His laws. Obedience paves the way for a joyful life for you today and a grand, eternal reward tomorrow.

When you are confronted with a dilemma, think celestial! When tested by temptation, think celestial! When life or loved ones let you down, think celestial! When someone dies “prematurely,” think celestial. When someone lingers with a devastating illness, think celestial. When the pressures of life crowd in upon you, think celestial! As you recover from an accident or injury, think celestial!

As you think celestial, your heart will gradually change. You will want to pray more often and more sincerely. The Lord’s perspective transcends your mortal wisdom. His response to your prayers may surprise you and will help you to think celestial. #GeneralConference

Love seeing your name on this list @kraska_olivia @AlaskaNanooks

Retweeting for the sake of @CoachAmyDonovan and how many times she’s told our team this. It’s so true and a whole team doing this is deadly.

I really can’t stand Buddy Running in basketball. Sprint please! Because the person beside you is lagging up the court doesn’t mean you should. Sprint back and help someone else on defense, sheesh!

Navy SEALs have a saying.

You may find it helpful.

When something sucks, they look at each other and say:

"FULL BENEFIT"

It’s an instant mindset shift.

• Hiking and it starts pouring rain?
• Driving and your car breaks down?
• Working on a project and lost a draft?

FULL BENEFIT.

***

LESSON: Adversity is an opportunity

The message is simple.

Every adversity is an opportunity.

• To grow
• To learn
• To evolve
• To get stronger
• To become better

These moments forge us if we let them.

The next time you're facing something hard, welcome it.

Work through the process.

Learn the lessons.

Reap the full benefit.
