Hold the vision. Trust the process.

Two years ago, Cam Skattebo was a name few people knew outside of Tempe. Today, he’s court side with Spike Lee at the NBA Finals.

Success is about how well you handle failure. @nyknicks Head Coach Mike Brown won Coach of the year twice and got fired a year later each time. Just the act of getting back up after you get knocked down is a win in and of itself. 90% of millionaires said the key to their brilliance was just doing the obvious thing for an extraordinary period of time, without convincing themselves they’re smarter than they they are. When it gets hard, take solace in knowing that's when most people quit, and get back up and keep going. 🧗‍♀️ Congrats Champ 🏆

Well Done, ESPN.

🙏❤️

Having become our brother, the Son of God looks at the people; He looks at humanity and sees the oppression that burdens and the violence that causes strength to fade. He sees the wounds of war and the emptiness of consumerism. He sees faces reduced to masks, families torn apart by evil, and young people misled by false ideals. Jesus sees and loves. He loves and suffers for and with us: His compassion expresses not only fraternal closeness, but His desire to redeem. #GospelOfToday (Mt 9:36 – 10:8)

The flight, the traffic, the delay, the mistake, the inconvenience. Resilience isn’t pretending those things don’t bother you. It’s refusing to let them dictate your behavior. High performers learn to separate how they feel from how they act—and they keep choosing the next play, no matter how many challenges show up.

The gap between mediocrity and excellence is smaller than you think.

"Everyone wants the victory lap, but no one wants to run the race." Do you want to win, or do you just want to be seen winning? Because those are not the same thing.

Dear God, Thank you for another day and another week! God, be with me every moment of every day and allow me to see things as you see them. To hear as you hear and to feel as you feel. As I walk into this new day, I ask for patience and trust, knowing You're steering and guiding my life. Help me to grab hold of the plans You have for me, which are far beyond anything I could ever hope for or dream up. Exceed within me limits of courage and the strength to stay hopeful and faithful for what lies ahead because You are good. Keep me protected as I follow the Holy Spirit and stay right in the middle of Your will for me. In Jesus Name, Amen 🙏 “I love you, Lord; you are my strength.” - Psalms 18:1

You pay the price of a good habit in the present (and reap the reward in the future: like working out). You pay the price of a bad habit in the future (and enjoy the reward in the present: like drinking alcohol).

Your mindset will limit you more than your talent will. Believe in yourself. Believe in your best. Keep moving forward. Belief drives behavior.

Success in not always just about the result. Sometimes it's also about your resilience. "Even if you don't have the ultimate success that you think you deserve, if you get knocked down in life and you're able to get back up and keep fighting, that's a fricking win."

The voice in your head that whispers, “You can’t do this,” is not truth…it’s fear trying to take you captive. And fear has never been a reliable leader. That voice shows up right before growth. Right before obedience. Right before the very thing God is calling you into. Moses heard it. David felt it. Peter lived it. “I’m not enough.” “I’m not ready.” “I don’t have what it takes.” But God has never called you based on your qualifications. He calls you based on His purpose. The lie says: “You can’t.” Faith says: “God already did.” “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.” - 2 Timothy 1:7 So today, don’t negotiate with that voice. Don’t entertain it. Don’t give it authority it doesn’t deserve. Replace it. With truth. With scripture. With fully embracing the calling on your life. Because the same voice that says “you can’t”… is terrified of what happens when you realize, with God, you absolutely can! Take the next step…God is with you here and now and He is already there and then!

Success without fulfillment feels empty.
