Choice of attention, to pay attention to this

And ignore that, is to the inner life what

Choice of action is to the outer.

Based on personal initiative.

Dreams do not come true just because you dream them.

It’s hard work that makes things happen.

It’s hard work that creates change...

Ditch the dream and be a doer, not a dreamer.

Maybe you know exactly what it is you dream of being,

Or maybe you’re paralyzed because you have no idea

What your passion is.

The truth is, it doesn’t matter. You don’t have to know.

You just have to keep moving forward.

You just have to keep doing something, seizing the next 

Opportunity, staying open to trying something new.

It doesn’t have to fit your vision of the perfect job or

The perfect life.

Perfect is boring and dreams are not real.

Just ... do.

- Shonda Rimes

Sustaining an effort is the most important thing for any enterprise.

The way to be successful is to learn how to do things right,

Then do them the same way every time.

Players can't excel in every area, but they can strive to better themselves in the areas that we value most for each individual. 

Then we can show them what they need to do to have their 

Career Best Effort.

Over the length of a season, a correlation always appears between

great effort and great overall numbers.

It may not show from one game to the next, but in the long run 

superior effort is reflected in the win column.

- Pat Riley

Balancing the Scales!

Two fellows opened a butcher shop and prospered. 

Then an evangelist came to town,

and one of the butchers was saved.

He tried to persuade his partner to accept salvation

also, but to no avail. “Why wont you, Charlie?”

asked the born again fellow.

“Listen, Lester,” the other butcher said.

“If I get religion, too, who’s going to weigh the meat?”
