I couldn't sleep last night because God was speaking to me alllllll night... and here's what he said...
When it comes to achieving truly GREAT things...
The REAL potential of progress is only seen when and if every-single-person involved in doing something has a clear, unwavering, identical focus and is willing and is able to put forth an honest and EXHAUSTING physical effort, mental effort and whatever other effort there is to try, and to be, without-question, the ABSOLUTE BEST person, that does THAT particular thing, for THAT particular team, at THAT particular time. But it HAS to be HONEST! You have to REAALLY want it! That means (despite the circumstances) you HAVE to be willing to try hard!! You HAVE to be willing to get TIRED!! At EVERY GAME for the WHOLE GAME until the buzzer rings again! Because every time the whistle blows there is a brand-new possibility for you to win or lose to the opponent (yourself). And I'm not talking about just physically tired, but even more importantly applying every-single-ounce of the mental effort that is needed (before and during the game) to think about, research, and realize what YOU (not the team) need to do in order to be, without-question, the ABSOLUTE BEST person, that does THAT particular thing, for THAT particular team, at THAT particular time. If, at the end of the day, you leave room for you to say to yourself "I'm NOT sure that I searched enough, researched enough, thought long enough, or did everything that I POSSIBLY could then you LOST! If you could HONESTLY, and CONFIDENTLY, say "I researched, I thought, and I did everything that I possibly could and NOT MANY could do better" then you WON! NOTHING ELSE IS MORE IMPORTANT! When that happens... that's when we will all see true progress as individuals and as a team. But if not... we sacrifice something HUGE... we sacrifice witnessing true greatness in our lives. And only a few, in history, have ever witnessed that.
