Working towards greatness at anything is a difficult thing to do, that’s why so few actually achieve it. But the best thing anyone can do when you’re going through is keep moving- keep pushing forward. When your legs are tired- keep pushing… when your body aches-keep pushing… when your feelings and emotions are going against your desires and long term aspirations- keep pushing… when the voices in your head start to get loud- talk back to them and keep pushing. The only thing that redefines failure is enduring until the end so, hang in, keep your head, guard your heart, stay humble & hungry and continue to work on you. And when life give you the opportunity you’ve been working for you go at it hard! (You’ve already won; you just have to keep going forward long enough to get to it).

Do the right thing
Life is short and full of troubles. We don’t have to look very far or contribute to the creation of problems necessarily but if we live long enough problems, challenges, and difficulties will definitely come to us all. And when you are a person bent on “doing the right thing” you can expect even more challenges as you navigate through life because the masses are drawn to the easy route, they line up for the cheat codes, and seldom speak up unless someone else speaks up first and the discourse starts to trend.

The good thing is we as human beings have been created with the capacity to grow, increase in strength, endurance and wisdom as we lean in to challenges and face our difficult situations. Understand- We don’t get stronger working out with weights that don’t challenge us physically, and in the same manner whenever we do the hard things, & the difficult things we can expect growth- not easy… but growth. And as we grow those things that once challenged us will become easier to manage.

Doing the right thing is not easy, it can be difficult at times, it can be a lonely endeavor and a burden that weighs a ton. However the more we “do the right thing” the easier it is to “do the right thing”. Not because it gets easier, it’s because WE GROW STRONGER in the process.

It’s good to remember Dr. King and those who did the right thing … How about those of us who remain endeavor daily to be the next person, regular guy, from around the way known for being a good dude who treats people right and has a bent for doing the right thing.

Just a thought…

The presence of difficulties does not mean that you are going in the wrong direction. Just as when you engage in resistance training fatigue, discomfort & pain comes well before the gains; Many times the difficulty and discomfort is actually evidence that you ARE in fact putting in legitimate work.

Confession: No longer will I be deterred, distracted or discouraged by difficulty. And I will remember that pain is a part of the process of growth…. Just

I don’t post much about my family, but I have to show an example of what it looks like when hard work meets dedication. My son, number 75 Southern University lab school right guard is that living example. This kid started playing football in the ninth grade didn’t know anything about the game because he played basketball prior to that. Freshman year it was nothing but hard times ridicule and long nights sophomore year after putting in a little work over the summer he got a few snaps with JV… Junior year he managed to get in a couple of games and play a few meaning for minutes, but when I tell you that the hand of the diligent shall be rule, this kid worked all summer long two days three days change this diet. Learned , studied film and worked and worked and worked his butt off.
He started his senior year, played EVERY possession of every game, was available, was coachable, made adjustments on the fly, took the correction and the butt chewing by his coaches, didn’t get in his feelings but made the adjustment, he played hard for his QB and running backs and O line, and look at them now. The doubters have been proven wrong, the nonsense of the naysayers have been silenced and negated & In the words of Muhammad Ali, you all shook up the world son!!!

, baby boy your story is not done yet!!
I’m PROUD OF YOU
