Play. Every. Day.

Did you know Shaquille O’Neal was cut the first time he tried out for the NBA? He had the height, but he needed to improve his skills. So he played basketball every day. Every. Day. Every. Day.

Words of wisdom from The Big Aristotle…The Big Baryshnikov…Shaq Fu O’Neal:

• You’re going to fail before you succeed.
• You have to work hard.
• Stay loyal to the people who support you.
• You can’t do it by yourself.
• Surround yourself with people who are smarter than you.
• Help others.

“I never worry about the problem. I worry about the solution.” -Shaq Daddy O’Neal

I believe when you work hard and go after your dream, higher forces conspire to support you. I think that’s what I’m doing with this blog…playing every day in the hopes of someday making it to the NBA!

Today’s inspiration: Perseverance

How to use it: As you move through your day, remind yourself, “This action is creating my future. I choose to do it.” Think of your tasks as play. Life is fun.

Be inspired. Go forth. Create your day.
