Are you a winner?
Twelve years ago, I was a basketball playing-coach. I started with a bunch of young men. I handpicked, played, trained, and coached them as we toured together around the country; we taught children and young people how to play the game and get right with God and people. The group became the school’s official basketball team until now.
Now, I coach a different game; it’s called LIFE. As I mentor young professionals, guided children as chaplain, and led adults as preacher-teacher, and care for my family as husband and father, I wanted to share wisdom to all.
Consider my column as a weekly resource of reflections for you. Here, I will share thoughts to make your life count. You are not just “a dot of this world,” as Creed rants and sing. You mean to God, our country, others, and me.
If “winners never quit; quitters never win,” then move on. Don’t give up. Play like winners. Never play the game of life to loose. Some of my team fumbled somewhere, but now most became professionals and spiritual leaders. You too have a great future.
Daily, you hear bad news, maybe just as it is, but you need to walk with wisdom and hope. You need to be mindful of the important things in life.
As a saintly man once said, “Finally…whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” Whether you want to succeed, get rich, leave a legacy, you need to think, play and win.
I believe everyone is potential. It means YOU are a great potential! How can you harness that winning potential within? Gain wisdom and walk wisely.
