Happy Thursday!
Here’s your basketball tip, leadership lesson, and life principle to apply.
BASKETBALL TIP
Good players beg for the ball, not so much with their mouths as with their body movements and facial expressions.
Good players want the ball, and that want is obvious to whoever has it.
Do you beg for the ball? Or are you usually out on the periphery, hoping the ball comes to you?
There is a huge difference between begging and hoping.
LEADERSHIP LESSON
“Good leaders set vision, missions, and goals. Great leaders inspire every follower at every level to internalize their purpose, and to understand that their purpose goes far beyond the mere details of their job. When everyone is united in purpose, a positive purpose that serves not only the organization but also, hopefully, the world beyond it, you have a winning team.”
– Colin Powell
LIFE PRINCIPLE
“Focusing on the good isn’t just about overcoming our inner grump to see the glass half full. It’s about opening our minds to the ideas and opportunities that will help us be more productive, effective, and successful at work and in life.”
– Shawn Achor

Happy Thursday!
Here’s your basketball tip, leadership lesson, and life principle to apply.
BASKETBALL TIP
One of the chief assets of a good player is the ability to play the game constantly available to the ball. Unfortunately, many players stand 40 feet from the ball and just watch the action.
Never do this.
Don’t wait for the ball to come to you — be in a position where the ball can be thrown to you easily.
Be available for your teammates and you will be rewarded.
LEADERSHIP LESSON
“Until you become completely obsessed with your mission, no one will take you seriously. Until the world understands that you’re not going away — that you are 100 percent committed and have complete and utter conviction and will persist in pursuing your project — you will not get the attention you need and the support you want.”
– Grant Cardone
LIFE PRINCIPLE
“Fear is excitement without the breath.”
Here’s what this intriguing statement means: the very same mechanisms that produce excitement also produce fear, and any fear can be transformed into excitement by breathing fully with it.”
– Gay Hendricks
