Words of Wisdom: Michael Jordan ( G.O.A.T)

"Words of Wisdom: 

Michael Jordan"



In the video above, Michael Jordan shares his story of trials and tribulations that he chose to overcome in order to be successful. "Failure gave me strength, my pain was my motivation", Jordan says. A few words of wisdom he gives are as follows:

  • Determination. Don't be afraid to try! Half of being smart is knowing what you're dumb at! A change in your mentality can change your life.We all have dreams, but in order to make dreams into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, & discipline. 
  • Nothing to fear, but fear itself. The fear of failure isn't a fear of failure at all, it's the fear of criticism. You must learn to accept change. Accepting change shows a sign of maturity and allows you to experience a more fulfilling life. Opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye, but regret can last a lifetime. Winning starts inside you, long before it actually happens! 
  • Take the chance! Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them! You will find that they don't have half the strength you think they have. Your life doesn't get better by chance, it gets better by change! Achievement demands disciple!
  • Become legendary! Put old feelings and worries in the past so you can make progress and move forward in life. Every day we have at least one opportunity to help a friend, a loved one, or even a stranger. It's our responsibility to do as we can! 
  • You miss every shot you don't take! Life opens up when you do! Be optimistic and positive in all that you do. Whatever you base your character and morals around determines the amount of success you'll have. If you really want something, and really work hard & take advantage of opportunities and never give up, you will find a way.
  • What will be your shot? When inspiration strikes, GO WITH IT! Be the first to share with your friends and family, when, where and how you want. 
  • Look at the bright side! Compassion is the desire that moves the individual self to expand the scar of its self concern to embrace the whole universal self , success is not final and failure is not fatal ; stand STRONG and be optimistic.
  • The only person that can stop you is you! Only you can stop yourself from doing what it takes too accomplish your desires ; to overcome obstacles it takes persistence. You have to refuse to let ANYTHING stand in your way. Eliminate any conditions that has fear or negativity standing over you.
  • Rise to the challenge. Be willing to do anything if by any means you can arouse your challenge accepting abilities you can again feel a surge in your motivation level. Work hard , choose wisely , grow from problems , and last but not least fight for your dream.
  • Success is inside you ! Attitude , belief , commitment , tolerance , and realization teaches us definite purposes. Embrace your failure and perceive it as a lesson. Be your own motivation success isn't just inside you, success is you.
  • Exercise your mind! To meet success, you have to plan for it. Even if it's just jotting down ideas on a napkin. Let the messages you have seen marinate in your mind & in your soul.
  • Stay true to yourself there's no shortcuts to success. Always remain true to yourself , the moment you stop is the moment you submit to things others want you to do. Be yourself , encourage yourself , the circle of success is waiting!

Derrick Rose: The Long Awaited Return


"The Long Awaited Return" 



As the excitement for Chicago Bulls basketball grows in the heat of the playoff race fans can't help but to wonder "where is Derrick?". Rose has only been on the sidelines with the rest of his teammates twice out of forty-one home games that the Bulls have played--hopefully it was because he was still rehabbing. It has officially been a year since the MVP caliber point guard D. Rose has played on the court for the team. Reports by team doctors a while back said that Rose was at no greater risk to get injured any more than the rest other players on the team.  Although Derrick has been cleared to play by his team doctors months back, many think the real reason is beyond any physical limitation. Rose has to become confident in himself, in his abilities, & in his body before #TheReturn can actually come to fruition. Let's keep D.Rose in our prayers!


I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
