INTEGRITY
---------------------------------------------- When I walked on to the @bucknellu football team, I was held accountable for my actions at a new level. I learned during my first week on the team that all practices were filmed (start to finish) and that if I didn’t give my best effort between the white lines, I would be called out. There was nowhere to hide and in the beginning, this was intimidating. However, it ended up translating into a higher self-awareness and an increased emphasis on integrity that changed life for me both on and off the field.
.
I want to share this with you 👇
.
In football and in life, it’s a lot easier to cut corners, give poor effort and take plays off when you aren’t being watched. BUT HERE’S THE CATCH, you are never by yourself, because you’re always with yourself. When you think that you aren’t accountable to anybody else, think again, because you are always accountable you and the dynamics of that relationship matters more than I could emphasize here.
.
What you consistently do when nobody is watching becomes who you are. What you consistently do when nobody is watching creates habits that affect the people in your life down the road. It defines your life. Here’s the good news - when you do the right thing and give your best effort, nobody can take anything away from you.
.
“Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are… The true test of a man’s character is what he does when no one is watching.” – John Wooden.

WHAT WILL YOU DO?

BELIEVE
---------------------------------------------- I’m not big runner, but this is bigger than running, this is about BREAKING LIMITS and this warrants the world’s attention.
.
I can’t even begin to fathom the amount of time, dedication, sacrifice and faith that went into this incredible accomplishment. This post is about @kipchogeeliud and the team of people (look behind him) that made this possible. This picture represents a MOMENT in time that will never be forgotten, however, this is so much more than a moment. This is about the PROCESS. It’s just a reminder that any dream, no matter how crazy, starts with BELIEF and only comes to fruition through the summation of consistent effort, repeated failure and constant adjustment that is often riddled with seasons of struggle and moments of doubt, but all fueled by a deep and strong sense of “I CAN.”
.
Thank you @kipchogeeliud for inspiring the world today and congratulations on all that you put into making this moment happen. I know that it inspired me to dream bigger and push harder. I hope that it can do the same for the world.

IT’S UP TO YOU
---------------------------------------------- If you’re reading this and want to stop here because you’re not willing to get hit with the truth, then that’s fine.
.
If you’re still reading, here it is.
.
“There’s a redemptive power that making a choice has rather than feeling like you’re an effect to all the things that are happening. Make a choice. Just decide what it’s gonna be, who you’re gonna be, how you are going to do it. Just decide. And from that point, the universe will get out of your way” - Will Smith
.
There is immense power that lies in our ability (as humans) to make INTENTIONAL DECISIONS. Sure, external circumstances factor into the how we make our choices, but at the end of the day, we are in COMPLETE CONTROL of what we choose and that’s powerful stuff. If there’s something that you want, but you don’t have, stop making excuses, get off of autopilot and be INTENTIONAL with what you CHOOSE. The time to go after what you want is NOW and if you think that you can put off the decision to start, then read these wise words.
.
“Whatever you are not changing, you are choosing.” - Laurie Buchanan

So as you scroll through @instagram this morning, let me ask you...
.
WHAT ARE YOU CHOOSING?

PURSUIT
---------------------------------------------- If you’re looking for music, professional editing and exciting content, this post isn’t for you. Instead, it’s a simple video (@dannygevirtz) and a short message about PURSUIT.
.
Like the camera here moves toward the sun, this post is a reminder to keep moving toward the good in your life.
.
Find the things (and people) that LIGHT UP your world, BUILD YOU UP and help MAKE YOU BETTER than the day before. No matter how much darkness comes your way, never stop CHASING those things. Tomorrow is an opportunity to be better than you were today and it’s another chance to chase the good.
.
WHAT ARE YOU CHASING?
