Who are we as a TEAM? "When a group of over-protected, under-corrected players meets a team of tough-minded, disciplined competitors, it is a mismatch." Proactive Coach

You can call yourself a car and even go to your garage and say "Vroom, Vroom" but it doesn't make you a car. We like to label ourselves and use names to define us. I am NOT a golfer. I play golf a couple times a year. I have never taken one golf lesson in my life. I golf, but I am not a golfer. I sing at church and around the house. I sing, but am not a singer. I have never taken a voice lesson, and honestly, I don't try to sing well. I sing because it makes me feel good. I AM a pig. Watch me eat. I have no concern for any etiquette or anyone one around me. I have one goal ... food in me! My actions prove that I am a pig. Our actions define us. And our lifestyle determines our actions. If we truly choose to be successful, our lifestyle must encompass our goals and desires. "It's not just competitor vs. competitor but my lifestyle vs. your lifestyle"! Anonymous
Why do cars have heated seats? Heated seats don't make the car more safe or run more efficiently. Heated seats don't decrease the carbon footprint nor do they keep us from texting while driving. Heated seats have one function ... to keep your %*# warm. By nature, humans seek comfort and avoid discomfort. Nearly every invention in life is to make our life easier and more comfortable. We get upset when our phone takes a half of a second longer to respond to us than we expect. How dare my microwave take 30 seconds to warm up my dinner. I WANT IT NOW!!!!!! Very few things in life are easy and most things worth achieving will take effort and cause discomfort in our life. Sacrifice is giving up things we want. Sacrifice is uncomfortable. If you are uncomfortable right now, you are probably getting better at something. "Your comfort zone is a place where you keep yourself in a self-illusion and nothing can grow there but your potentiality can grow only when you can think and grow out of that zone.” Rashedur Ryan Rahman
Sacrifice is defined as "the act of giving up something that you want to keep". "I think that the good and the great are only separated by the willingness to sacrifice." Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
