That wise man was full of inspiration not only for our struggling girls who needed all the help they could get, but also their long-suffering moms (and a few dads) looking on from the sidelines every Saturday morning for seemingly endless months. But they did end. Not the life lessons, though. Many times I have thought of Bobby's encouragement and forged ahead with my own dreams, like writing novels and pursuing publication. Even now, when the going gets tough, I think back. In the end, basketball, like so much else, is a mind game. Success is all about believing. Don't give up on anything or anyone you truly love. You are, however, allowed to choose, and if necessary alter, which course of action to follow.
Here's one I came across:
“Whatever you vividly imagine, ardently desire, sincerely believe, and enthusiastically act upon…must inevitably come to pass!” ~ Paul J. Meyer
Love that one; You are not finished when you lose, only if you quit!!!
Beth, so true. Another good one is- You haven't failed until you quit.
And we're not quiters, are we?
No, we're not, and thanks!
So true, Beth, Patrice, and Mary R! Thanks for the reminder!
Beth, I love the quote. My daughter sent me one that motivates me also. Here it is:
"What are stumbling blocks and defeats before you, can be stepping stones to victory if you remain determined."
Beth,
I love motivational quote. It always helps to push me along.
