The Soul-Saving Art of Making Adjustments
In sport we have this phrase that we lean on a lot- and that phrase is: 'making adjustments'. Clearly it’s something important because we say it all the damn time. From one throw to the next, one at bat to the next, one shot to the next, rep to the next, etc… it’s this phrase that we use that says: you were a little off this time, so try again in a different way next time.
What’s Your Response?
Leader’s are often tasked with a big question. That question is “why do you do what you do?” And this question is often summed up in a single word: purpose. Purpose is the deeper meaning behind your days, your relationships, and your work…
The Irony of Growth
You may think the process sounds silly— but listen, it worked. Better than you can realize. Because before I knew it, everything that was filling my space and weighing me down, was gone…
Born To Lead
I love to talk about it because for those who are in the evolution game and pursuing it, we know that it doesn’t happen on accident. We know that it’s no fluke. That every choice we make, and all the effort we put forth, is on purpose.
Refining
If you’re in the waiting…
Patience
Patience is freakin hard. But patience is a huge gift. It’s the gift of now. And the gift of not knowing. It’s the gift of acceptance.
Acknowledging a Decade
I hope you see yourself in it. I hope it gives you words to speak over your own story. To be used as a template to fill in your own blanks + truths. Cause I really hope you’re proud of you, too.
Ambition
There are two kinds of motivation with ambition.
Your Love Can Too.
If it were easy to step into your truest gifts and use your biggest talents, I think God would be a lot smaller than he is.
Why You Have to Try
I don’t think ideas are on accident. I don’t think curiosity is by chance. I don’t think you have this invisible tug pulling on you to look over there and come over here… for no reason.
Your Mission
Life has a built-in mission for us. And it’s not the one you first think it is.
Is This Honestly What Life Expects From Us?
The certainty is gone. Justifications and reasonings are communicated through gut feelings, not road signs. And they’re not felt by everyone… just you.
Half Way
It’s become my favorite thing in the world to watch a player make a diving catch. Or a play they have absolutely no business making. Because it’s not something you can teach.
Why Your Jersey is The Most Important Part of The Game
My curiosity and magnetic pull to dig deeper and reveal truth- is just how I was sewn together. The light and joy I feel listening to the words that follow that question- is the very thing that makes me who I am. It is my by-nature strength.
Play Free
I used to do this on the field— try to force hits, the perfect swing, throw, pitch... you name it. It’s the death-grip of control that we default to in order to make life certain again. In order to define ourselves. And it makes me smile because it never changes. The game. Because we never change. Underneath our jerseys, we’re human.
Toward
Why is change so hard? What is it about the transition from one season to the next, that makes us resist... everything?
Where It Takes You
The tangent. The side road. The unexpected.
Your Funeral Speech
Because you don’t come face to face with the reality of who you are and who the world sees you to be…. and come out on the other side the same person. You don’t come to acceptance with your humanness and your mortality, without realizing how much it matters.
ath.lete
I always say that being an athlete isn’t just something we do... it’s a lifestyle. A way of life. It impacts every detail of it.
Right Here, Right Now.
And the coolest part is that it's actually intentional that we don't know what's coming. God did it on purpose. So that we can enjoy here and now. He wants us to miss nothing at all. He wants us to be right where we are. He delights in us enjoying it (hello LOVE).
