Three Words That Changed My Life
Success is something we all strive for. It's about achieving our goals, overcoming obstacles, and rising above the competition. Yet, so often, we see people pointing fingers, casting blame, and making excuses for their circumstances.
At some point, we need to challenge ourselves and others to do their part.
When we do, success becomes more than just empty words; it becomes the standard we hold ourselves to.
Throughout my NFL career, my time at ESPN, my current platform in speaking and in the head and health space, Ive learned invaluable lessons about success. But I've also learned about it in the most unexpected places - laying in an intensive care unit, battling cancer while sitting in a chemotherapy chair, and even going through the depths of depression while learning how to read again. These experiences have taught me resilience, perseverance, and the true meaning of success.
I use these hard-earned lessons to help companies and individuals challenge themselves. I encourage them to dig deep and use personal integrity to self-reflect. It's about asking the tough questions - "Are you doing your part? Is there more you could be doing." This self-check is a powerful tool that pushes us to tap into our innate abilities and reach our fullest potential.
When individuals take ownership of their part and become accountable, they empower themselves. They become more productive, more efficient, and find a sense of peace in their journey towards success. les abut narriessing our God-given talents and pushing beyond what we thought possible.
So, let's challenge ourselves and others to rise above excuses and embrace personal integrity. By doing so, we can unleash our true potential, achieve greater success, and create a more peaceful and productive world.
