I shared this with my sons in a long, tearful text this morning, and will follow up when we are face to face and the time is right. I have both followed this blue print - and paid the price dearly when I didn't. I am guilty of complacency, entitlement, lacking discipline, having self-pity, suffering mightily from imposter syndrome despite my success - in almost every area of my life. Still. But I've also had this natural, God given ability to always, and often reluctantly - reconnect with my resilience. To remember who I am. To re-member with who I truly am. To somehow, some way, and often after some time...pull myself up, dust myself off, and find a way to hop back on the horse. So I guess I’d add that it’s important to remember that greatness is not solely about making it to the top. It’s also about how many times you rise when you’ve fallen, how often you choose courage over comfort, and how willing you are to line back up after you've given up a sack. Greatness, in life or on the field, takes what it takes. #KeepBreathingAndBelieving
