Coach's Corner

“It never ceases to surprise me at the infinite capacity of the human mind to resist the introduction of useful knowledge.”
- Thomas Raynesford Lounsbury

Life is Not a Spectator Sport

​The path between life and death is dangerously narrow, but we must travel it. Each day we have a unique opportunity to change our mindset, shifting our time, energy, and consciousness towards designing our lives rather than just reacting to life. Life is too short not to go for it and pursue our dreams. None of us knows what the future holds. But we can do something today to cultivate a better tomorrow while being a positive difference-maker in another person's life. We never need all the answers to get started, just the right empowering questions and a mentality to never give up on ourselves.

Our choice lies within, as does our greatness. Most importantly, our dreams lie within, no matter the uncertainty of tomorrow. There are always unseen forces ready to support our dreams and personal growth. To manifest our aspirations into reality, we must engage in consistent action, sacrifice, accountability, perseverance, discipline, and an unwavering conviction to get better and not bitter. 

Grandma's final request was to be a good human being. When we cheat the process of getting better, we cheat ourselves. When we cheat ourselves, we cheat the gift of life. Let's continue to find time on our self-discovery and exploration journey to differentiate between what the world expects of us and what we expect of ourselves.

What we expect of ourselves and our relationship with our minds will always matter most at the end of the day.
