Complete in Christ
"For in Him dwells all the fullness
of the Godhead [a] bodily;
[a] in bodily form
and you are complete in Him,
who is the head of all
[a] principality and power."
[a] rule and authority
- Colossians 2:9, 10 NKJV
Thy saints on earth,
and those above,
Here join in sweet accord:
One body all in mutual love,
And thou their common Lord.
Yes, thou that body wilt present
Before thy Father's face,
Nor shall a wrinkle or a spot
Its beauteous form disgrace.
- The Believer's Daily Treasure

For nothing generally winds up
Getting nothing for something.

Full and total responsibility for

There's a reason I swam five straight
Years and didn't take a single day off.
There are reasons why I swam every
Holiday, every Christmas, every birthday.
I was trying to be as prepared as I could,
And I tried to see what I could really do
And what my potential was.
I just really did kind of whatever it took.
- Michael Phelps
(Most decorated Olympic Swimmer
of all time)

Tie it to a goal, not to people or
Things.

Where justice is denied,
Where poverty is enforced,
Where ignorance prevails,
And where any one class
Is made to feel that society
Is in an organized conspiracy
To oppress, rob, and degrade them,
Neither persons nor property will
Be safe.
- Frederick Douglass
I never doubted not only that
I would get out, but also that
I would prevail in the end and
Turn the experience into the
Defining event of my life,
Which, in retrospect,
I would not trade…

As a prisoner of war in Vietnam,
During which he was tortured
Over 20 times.

You are ranked until
The end.

Who you play,
I think it's about who
You are.

Every guy can make a difference
For the entire team in whatever
His role is.
And to do it right,
To get it right,
Is a critical factor in being
Successful.
