Everything comes by being! be the love you seek. be the friend you seek. be the lover you seek. be the honesty you seek. be the integrity you seek. be the patience you seek. be the tolerance you seek. be the compassion you seek.

Dear god," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. let me be gay; let me be sad. let me be cold; let me be warm. let me be hungry...have too much to eat. let me be ragged or well dressed. let me be sincere - be deceitful. let me be truthful; let me be a liar. let me be honorable and let me sin. only let me be something every blessed minute. and when i sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.

Let the children be free; encourage them; let them run outside when it is raining; let them remove their shoes when they find a puddle of water; and when the grass of the meadows is wet with dew, let them run on it and trample it with their bare feet; let them rest peacefully when a tree invites them to sleep beneath its shade; let them shout and laugh when the sun wakes them in the morning.

Let others lead small lives, but not you. let others argue over small things, let them complain over what might have been, but not you. let others cry over small hurts, let them be discouraged, let them be revengeful and vindictive, but not you. let others leave their future in someone else's hands, let them become materialistic and empty, but not you. let others become ungrateful and stop praying, but not you! let others give up, but not you! for you know in whom you believe and you know that he is always able. now, that's you!

Whenever i mentor people and help them discover their purpose, i always encourage them to start the process by discovering their strengths, not exploring their shortcomings. why? because people's purpose in life is always connected to their giftedness. it always works that way. you are not called to do something that you have no talent for. you will discover your purpose by finding and remaining in your strength zone.

I love coaching football, and winning a super bowl was a goal i've had for a long time. but it has never been my purpose in life. my purpose in life is simply to glorify god. we have to be careful that we don't let the pursuit of our life's goals, no matter how important they seem, cause us to lose sight of our purpose. i coach football. but the good i can do to glorify god along the way is my real purpose.

There's never been completion in my football career because i've always been striving for that next thing. you listen to people who have finished and nothing replaces playing, but i'm still excited about not having to put my body through what i've put it through. and not feeling the disappointment that i feel.

Sure, luck means a lot in football. not having a good quarterback is bad luck.

Athletes at all ages are bigger and stronger than ever before. and they are being encouraged - sometimes even incentivized, as we recently learned was the case on at least one national football league team - to play to injure.
