The happiest people I know don’t make excuses. If there’s a problem, they solve it. If they’re wrong, they own it. If they mess up, they make it right. If they lose, they work harder. The decision to make excuses is also the decision to forfeit your power to make a difference.

UConn had all the excuses to have a bad year: 6 players out w/ injury left them with 8 active players (4 are freshmen). Yet they’re playing for a spot in the Final 4. Does it have anything to do with the book on Geno’s desk? Probably not but that’s my only source of income rn😂

There’s a common misconception that if you’re doing what you love you’ll never work a day in your life. The truth is, if you love what you do you’ll work longer and harder. The good news is, you’ll enjoy the work, and it gives you a really good chance at being great.

As a leader, the best thing you can do for someone is believe in them. Don’t just believe in them, let them know why you believe in them. Great leaders are constantly encouraging others and building people up. People become who you tell them they are; point out their greatness.

Jesus would heal people and say, “Tell no one.” As someone in marketing, this seemed like a mistake. He’s onto something tho, because it’s been 2k years and we’re still talking about Him. If He was the best leader ever, and He didn’t make it about Himself, we shouldn’t either.

The next time you watch a basketball game, don’t even look at the scoreboard or the basketball. Just count how many high fives, fist bumps, and huddles each team gets and you’ll know who’s going to win. Trust me, it’s scary accurate.👀👊🏼

It’s easy to give your teammates high fives when things are going well. However, high fives & close huddles are most needed when things aren’t going well. Studies have shown high fives soothe in times of stress and predict individual success & team wins.
