And that they can't relive the minutes of a game, so they

To live up to their potential. Success is a communal type
Thing, and if we win, then everyone can be considered
Successful and we can move uptown together.

Choose Life by Paul B Evans



What's your birth date?

What day did you come to life?

No, not screaming and kicking into a sterile hospital room. What day did you come to life? What's the day, or month, or even year when you knew you were alive? You knew you make a difference in the world? You knew that for you each day was an opportunity to love and serve and share?

I hope you know and even if you don't, no big deal, my prayer is that you feel alive right now.

More importantly, if you don't feel alive, what is your death date?

No, you will not find it on a tombstone. Not yet anyway.

What day did your hopes and dreams die? What day did status quo become the go?

Perhaps it was a discourager, "Please, why would you even think you could do that? Who do you think you are?"

Maybe it was an inner voice, "You're just not enough. You don't have what it takes."

It could have even been the one who was with you on your day of origin, "I wish you were never born."

All of these and more lead to death.

Death of hope.
Death of belief.
Death of dreams.
Death of passion.

But only if you let them. Only if you give them permission. You can choose life. You can live with the purpose of knowing your life counts. It matters. It impacts. It makes a difference.

If you do not have one already, allow today to become your birthday. The day you decide to live full force. The day you accept the responsibility of bringing joy and love to your world. The day you begin to ignore the voices and the past that led to a less than life. This is your new day… live on.
-          Paul B. Evans

***************************************************************

“Today I am giving you a choice of two ways. And I ask heaven and earth to be witnesses of your choice. You can choose life or death. The first choice will bring a blessing. The other choice will bring a curse. So choose life! Then you and your children will live. Deut. 30:19 ERV

The measure of who we are is what we do
With what we have.
- Vince Lombardi

People tend to think of happiness as a stroke of luck,
Something that will descend like fine weather if you're fortunate.
But happiness is the result of personal effort. You fight for it, 
strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the
World looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly.
- Elizabeth Gilbert

I have three precious things which I hold fast and prize.
The first is gentleness;
The second is frugality;
The third is humility,
Which keeps me from putting myself before others.
Be gentle and you can be bold;
Be frugal and you can be generous;
And you can become a leader among men.
- Lao Tzu

Remedying them … every day begin the task anew.

All winning teams are goal-oriented.

Them from achieving their aims.
