“Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.” John Wooden
I spent too many years tying to be the person everyone else wanted me to be, a person who didn’t have ADHD. I cared so much about what others thought of me and fitting in that I spent little time discovering who I truly am. We are unique for a reason. Celebrate that!
Surely you have heard, read, or seen that legendary coach John Wooden died a few weeks ago. He was legendary in the minds of basketball players, fans, coaches, analysts, and the record books but far be it for “the coach” to ever consider such a distinction in his own mind. Much that Coach Wooden has said and even more that has been said about him defines who he was and what his life stood for. This weeks I would like share some powerful thoughts from this amazing man.
“Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be.” John Wooden
