One day when I was in high school, I was walking down the sidewalk with my mother.
We needed to get to the other side of the street but since I was a punk teenager, I decided to cross sooner because figured I could make it before the next car went by.
Today is Monday. Yikes!
Nothing like a case of the Mondays to get us down.
Retired Army staff sergeant Joey Jones lost both of his legs when an IED exploded in Afghanistan.

Five years ago (June 28, 2016) we lost one of the greatest leaders I have known when Pat Summitt died. She was more than just a legendary basketball coach. She probably could have run for governor in the state of Tennessee. You never heard a negative word uttered about her.
I’ve previously published two articles about Pat Summitt that you might be interested in reading. One is from the day she retired from coaching entitled “Why Pat Summitt is the Best” and the other was from the day she died entitled “Will You Reach for the Summitt with your Legacy?”.
Additionally, here is a piece I wrote for a newsletter back in 2011 called “Profile in Leadership: Pat Summitt”. I thought the quotes and thoughts about her might elicit good memories about her or inspire you today to make a difference in the lives of those around you.
Not all conflict is bad.
In fact, conflict may at times be good for an organization. Conflict gets our attention. Normal and healthy conflict can help a group clarify its goals. It can also be the catalyst for making necessary changes.
Remember also that sometimes what appears on the surface to be the source of conflict is not the true source at all; it is only a symptom of the real problem.
The source is almost always below the surface.
Tom Brady dismantled the defending champs and Vegas favorites in Super Bowl 55 to become a seven-time champion. Even though he is my guy, I am afraid I picked the Kansas City Chiefs to repeat and defeat Brady’s Buccaneers.
He had no idea I had picked against him, nor would he have cared.
However, he is no stranger to doubters.
It definitely is strange to see so many haters, doubters, and critics of Tom Brady when he is essentially the unquestioned GOAT – greatest of all time.
We as adults definitely don’t deal with doubters and haters as well as we should sometimes, so there is no question that our athletes will struggle with it.
Since the GOAT has haters, we all will have haters and those who doubt us.
