A profile allows you the opportunity to identify what you like, and eliminate what you don't like (i.e.-internet groups)

Your profile determines other people's perception

Your ways determine your identity (What you do, determines how you are perceived)

“What would you do, if you could do anything you wanted to do...That's what you should be doing.”

A great thinker, through his prolific insights, sagaciously suggested, "For most people life is what happens while they are busy doing everything else."

Ask yourself, What am I really doing?

Margaret Thatcher, in her provocative musings, emphatically stated, "There is no greater day, than a day when you have everything to do, and you finish it all...That’s better than a day when you have nothing to do.”

Kahlil Gibran states, “The measure of a person is not in what they attain, but in what they long to attain.”

Ask yourself, What do I really want?

Proverbs 30:18-19,"There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not: The way of an eagle in the air...”

Eagle-metaphor or symbol of greatness & strength

Isaiah 40:31, “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”

wait-qavah (kawvaw)-to bind together, to expect

Attributes of an Eagle:

SEE FARTHER: Its not just the moment, but momentum that matters (Remember you are not just trying to win the down, but you came to win the game)

FLY HIGHER: You can't be an eagle hanging out with chickens (Make the next play better than the last play)

ENDURE LONGER: Don't ever settle for what you see, reach for the unseen (some games are won or lost just by outlasting the opponent)

*Just make up your mind, you're going to last

Winning is not about ability, but behavior...It's not enough to have winning form, if you don't have winning habits

Your attitude determines your altitude...Winning is an attitude that offers victory as the ultimate altitude

(Winning is more than something you do, but who you are)-Winning is not a place, but an identity

*Winners never quit, and quitters never win

If a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, then a team is only as strong as its individual participants (Its not enough to understand your role on the team, but the value you bring to the team)

Attitude of an Eagle:

When an eagle is wounded, he flys to the highest altitude, plucks his feathers out, and allows new feathers to grow, so that he can have strength to fight back (Always fight from a place of strength, never from a place of weakness)-fight proactive, not reactive

Four KEYS to Greatness
1) Focus-Concentration on the goal
2) Sense of Urgency-Enthusiasm about the goals
3) Willingness to Walk Alone-Self-secure in your role in reaching the goal
4) Do good before you feel good, in order to be good-The discipline to do the right things, so you can have the right results
