Vince Lombardi - The true definition of Committment!

“Winning is not a sometime thing, it is an all the time thing. You don’t do things right once in a while…you do them right all the time.”

“Unless a man believes in himself and makes a total commitment to his career and puts everything he has into it – his mind, his body, his heart – what’s life worth to him?”

“Once a man has made a commitment to a way of life, he puts the greatest strength in the world behind him. It’s something we call heart power. Once a man has made this commitment, nothing will stop him short of success.”

“The quality of a person’s life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.”

“It’s not whether you get knocked down, it’s whether you get up.”

“I would say that the quality of each man’s life is the full measure of that man’s commitment of excellence and victory – whether it be football, whether it be business, whether it be politics or government or what have you.”

Never Give Up!

"The reason why people give up so fast is because they tend to look at how far they still have to go, instead of how far they have gotten."

This determined individual did just the opposite. That day he showed the world how far he had gotten!

Maybe you're just making excuses!

What an awesome message that Michael Jordan is making to all of us that are trying to become successful in life! This is a perfect reminder that if we truly want to succeed we have to be willing to devote every day of our lives to become better.

"Excuses are the tools with which persons with no purpose in view build for themselves great monuments of nothing." – Unknown

"Ninety-nine percent of all failures come from people who have a habit of making excuses." – George Washington Carver

Simply take a moment and look yourself in the mirror and decide.... Are you doing everything that you can, or are you just making excuses?

Becoming Perfect

" Well I want you to understand somethin'. To me, being perfect is not about that scoreboard out there. It's not about winning. It's about you and your relationship to yourself and your family and your friends.

 

Being perfect is about being able to look your friends in the eye and know that you didn't let them down, because you told them the truth. And that truth is that you did everything that you could. There wasn't one more thing that you could've done.

 

Can you live in that moment, as best you can, with clear eyes and love in your heart? With joy in your heart?

 

If you can do that gentlemen, then you're perfect."
