At First String, when we say, "Take
charge of your life," we sum it up this way:
Decide. Taking charge
of your life starts here. With a decision. Weigh the costs and rewards.
Think it through. Do you want to just get along or stand out? You've
got one shot at life and unlimited potential. We'll try to help,
but what are YOU going to do?
Commit. Every spring NCAA
football teams participate in national signing day. It's when high
school athletes make their final commitments to a university. |
Most of the athletes dream of playing
for a championship, but they can't move ahead unless they're willing
to commit. For them, it means a signature. For you, it means an
everyday act of will.
Lead. A
leader isn't necessarily a person with all the answers. Not a genius.
Not the most talented. Leaders take steps forward when others hesitate.
They demonstrate discipline, determination and courage. They make
difficult decisions when the odds are bleak and own up to their
mistakes when necessary. So here's the question: Are you leading
or following?
