60 Seconds of Hope: Embrace the Sweat
I’m fully convinced that in order to become truly great at something you have to embrace every aspect of the process.
In athletics, it’s not just about showing up for the game. It’s about the nutrition, the fitness, the conditioning, the practice and the study, and the game planning. It’s about the adjustments when things aren’t going as planned.
A long time NFL player pointed out that the typical game has about 120 plays or so. Most NFL games are very close, and the outcomes are decided generally by three or four key plays. But you never know which plays are going to be the big ones. So you have to play hard every play.
In this aspect, life is a lot like sports. There are a few key moments that can change everything for us in an instance. But we never know when they are going to happen. So we have to give our best every day.
Even before that, we have to put the work in on ourselves to get ourselves ready for those moments. Embrace every practice, every task, every chore, every sacrifice that transforms you into your best self.
Embrace the sweat.
I’m Horace McMillon. This is 60 Seconds of Hope. Peace be with you.
