For some reason in today's society, people look up to football players and you have a voice. And it's because of that voice you have the opportunity to impact people's lives.
Tim TebowRead
Don't worry about what you can't control. Our focus and energy needs to be on the things we CAN control. Attitude, effort, focus- these are the things we can control.
Interpretation
Focus on what you can control rather than what you cannot.
This quote emphasizes the importance of directing our energy and attention towards aspects of life that are within our control, such as our attitude and effort. By shifting our focus away from uncontrollable circumstances, we can cultivate a more positive mindset and increase our potential for success.
In practice
In a motivational speech about resilience and personal growth.
For some reason in today's society, people look up to football players and you have a voice. And it's because of that voice you have the opportunity to impact people's lives.
If you do base your life on how many touchdowns you score, how many championships you win, then when you have a setback, then when you have an injury, you're not playing, or something goes wrong, your self-worth goes down.
Every time I step on the field, I'm going to give my whole heart regardless of the score.
We can control a few things: our attitude, our effort, our focus and how we go about treating our teammates.
On the field I'm trying to play for the glory of God but then also I'm trying to give everything I have and win and compete. And so I think more than just winning or losing, I think He cares about where our hearts are when we're playing.
What's so amazing in today's society is people look up to football players. And as a football player, you have a platform. And it's so much more important than any touchdown or trophy or anything you could win with football. Its taking that platform and be able to influence people.
If something's going to happen for you, it will, you can't make it happen. And it never does happen until you're past the point where you care whether it happens or not. I guess it's for our own good that it always happens that way, because after you stop wanting things is when having them won't make you go crazy.
.....joy runs deeper than despair.
Humility forms the basis of honor, just as the low ground forms the foundation of a high elevation.
Tell the truth. Sing with passion. Work with laughter. Love with heart. 'Cause that's all that matters in the end.
Simply wait, be quiet, still The world will freely offer itself to you.
You can discover what your enemy fears most by observing the means he uses to frighten you.
