"Purpose"

All opinions expressed on the blog are solely my own. 


You matter. Your choices matter. How will your life unfold?

Numerous authors popularized purpose in the past few years. 

Simon Sinek asks, "what's your WHY?" Southwest championed being "the low cost airline." Eleanor Roosevelt asked how individuals helped others in need. MasterClass provides suggestions.

Dan Pink, author of Drive, emphasizes that key components of motivation include autonomy (self-determination), mastery, and purpose

Servant leadership implies purpose impacting growth, community, influence, and stewardship. 

Actions have consequences. Consider how your decisions and actions impact the team. Long ago in the state championship game, an opponent's star player was unavailable, possibly for violating team rules. Be accountable to your teammatesKnow what you want and go for it.

Lagniappe. Kiraly as a player... slow the video to 0.25 and watch the runup footwork, the shot preparation, and attack. Kiraly won gold twice as a player indoors, once outdoors, and as a coach.
