Tough Lesson

Just when you relax, thinking everything is going well, and all the things you wanted are granted to you; God shows that complacency and, taking things for granted are words that are not in his dictionary. Tonight He taught me this tough lesson. Tonight He let me know how much harder I need to go, How much better I need to become. Tonight was just one of those games that you know you need to get it done, you want to do it bad enough, but because your mind it's not into it for whatever reason, the game doesn't turn out the way you want it to be, frustrating the s*** out of you. I'm learning to become more strong mentally, not allowing petty things get at me and affect my focus. It's hard, I'm realizing it's very hard, but with God's help I'm going to get through it. If God brings me to it, He'll get me through it. Patience, that's the word of the night, and tomorrow my quote of the day is going to be: What would you do if you knew you couldn't fail ever?....

Finally

Finally saw the light... Finally realized how bad they needed us out there... After 8 games, we finally got our chance to shine, to show what we're capable of, and what we can do. This past weekend I learned a lot from my teammates, my coaches, my friends, adn myself. You'll shine when they want you to shine. You'll get your chance when they want to give it to you. But do not, do not be satisfied by just being up there, because as fast as they put you on that throne, they'll bring you down if you dont stay prepared to weather the storm that is always suffered at the top. Never procrastinate your way to the top, because if you do, somebody is already working harder than you to get to your spot, to take your money, to close your door to that dream you've always wanted to accomplish. Life is beautiful, life is great, life is tough, life is complicated if you want to make it complicated. Enjoy everyday as it's THE LAST; play every game as it's THE LAST; love and care about people as NEVER BEFORE; and work and commit as hard as NEVER BEFORE. Two more chances to become what you want to become, to more games to show what you got, and demonstrate once and for all that your spot is on that floor, doing whatever it takes to get better, to make everybody better, and to WIN.
