“Competitive Greatness: Perform at your best when your best is required.
Your best is required every day.”<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

  <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>                        John Wooden’s Pyramid of Success <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

John Wooden was one of the most brilliant coaches not only in sports history, but in life.<\/span><\/p>\n

He taught his players and people all over the world about proper values and principles.
His Pyramid of Success in empowering.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

These principles, when applied anywhere work and create success.  Coach Wooden not only won championships with his team, but his team and his players <\/span>were victorious in the Game of Life.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

You see, Coach Wooden did not focus on winning championships, he focused on building people and teams <\/span>and creating success in all aspects of life.  <\/span>He taught his players to care and respects themselves and others.  <\/span>This is true greatness.  <\/span>This is true excellence.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

There is a distinction between being competitive with yourself and wanting and striving to be the best you can be and competing with others.  <\/span>It is healthy and natural to want to grow <\/span>and be the best you can be.  <\/span>So competition with yourself to consistently improve is healthy.  <\/span>However, competition with others is usually a losing game.  <\/span>It is usually destructive and ego based.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

There is enough for everyone in this world.  <\/span>Do you cheer others on and empower them to win?<\/span><\/p>\n

Or are you more concerned that if they win, you might lose or that there is not enough to go around?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

This is a time of year for honest reflection.  <\/span>This is a time when being totally and brutally honest with yourself <\/span>can transform your life forever.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Are you being the best possible you?  <\/span>Are you fulfilling your God-given, divine potential?<\/span><\/p>\n

Are you giving all that you can?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Make your time count.  <\/span>Make this year count.<\/span><\/p>\n

Be a source of light, inspiration, joy and empowerment to the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

BE THE BEST YOU!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
