What a great Halloween with two of our grandchildren! We also enjoyed FaceTiming with the others, who were so excited to show Meme and Pops their costumes.

Congratulations Josh Pierre!
Alabama head coach Nate Oats on promoting Josh Pierre from director of operations to director of player development:
"Over the past four seasons Josh has been tremendous in his work keeping our program running at the highest level. Competitive college basketball runs in his blood. I expect great things from Josh in his new role. His instincts are strong and he continues to raise the bar for our players and the program."
Bet he’s a product of tough Love from his Father! Greatness always starts with discipline
Von Miller reveals after Texas A&M coach Mike Sherman suspended him, he packed everything he owned into his truck and started driving to Florida to transfer, when he called his he dad told him not to quit, so he turned around and led the nation with 17.5 sacks the next season
“I had everything I owned in this blanket, and I went to my car. I threw it in the back and I’m driving home. I called my daddy. I’m like, ‘Daddy, man, I’m leaving. Coach Sherman kicked me off the team. I ain’t coming back until I do this and that.’”
“I’m thinking my dad is going, ‘All right, we’re going to find something else.’ He said, ‘Pull that truck over, turn around, and go back to school. You’re not quitting.’”
“I was like, ‘That was not the answer I was looking for.’ He was like, ‘You’re not just about to quit when it gets hard. You’re going to turn that truck back around. You’re going to go back to school and you’re going to fix it.’”
“I had tears going down my face. I was like, ‘Man, this is going to be so hard to fix all of this.’ I turned around. We had a meeting. Coach Sherman told my dad the exact same thing that he told me, and my dad agreed with Coach Sherman.”
“There was nowhere I could go. I just had to face the music. I had to face the truth. That spring was a hard one, but I got my grades up. I made it to all my classes. I went through the checklist of everything Coach Sherman wanted me to do.”
“That following year, my junior year, was the best year that I had up until that day. I led the nation in sacks. I had 17 and a half sacks. My life had totally changed. That was all a testament to running straight through the storm. The shortest way through the storm is straight. I put my head down and I worked, and my life totally changed that offseason.”

“You can’t measure a person’s heartbeat.” — Derek Jeter
Talent matters.
But you can’t always measure toughness, competitiveness, leadership, or how much someone cares.
Some of the most important things a player brings never show up on a stat sheet.

Read this slowly.
Before her passing from stomach cancer, the iconic designer Cressida Rodriguez left behind a chilling reminder of what actually matters when the curtain falls:
"I had the most expensive cars parked in my garage, but now I move in a wheelchair."
"My closets were filled with couture and luxury, but my body is now wrapped in a standard hospital gown."
"I had millions in the bank, but not a single dollar could purchase a second of extra time."
"My home was built like a palace, yet I finish my life in a narrow hospital bed."
"I used to sign autographs for crowds, but today I only sign medical consent forms."
"I used seven personal stylists for my hair, and now I have none left to comb."
"I flew across the world on private jets, but now it takes two people just to help me reach the doorway."
"I could feast on anything on earth, yet my dinner has shrunk to two pills and a few drops of saline."
"None of the fame, the money, the cars, or the glory can comfort you in the end. There is nothing more real than life, and nothing more certain than death."
You are richer than you think if you woke up today with breath in your lungs, strength in your legs, and a quiet plate of food in front of you.
Do not wait for a diagnosis to start appreciating the ordinary. Hold your health close, cherish the people around you, and be deeply grateful for the simple gift of today.

Tony Robbins on the three questions that reveal why you're unhappy:
"People don't experience life, they experience the life they focus on. If you're happy, you are deleting all the things you could be pissed off about. If you're unhappy, you're deleting all the things that are great in your life. Our brains delete and distort and generalize, so if you don't direct it, you get whatever shows up"
"What's wrong is always available. What's right is also available. It's just which one you pick. And it isn't about positive thinking. I've never been into positive thinking. I believe in intelligence, because when you're in a lousy state of mind, you treat people poorly, you don't perform, you're not happy"
"There are three decisions you're making every moment of your life. The first one is what are you going to focus on. If you're supposed to meet someone at 7 o'clock and it's 7:30 and they haven't called, some people are pissed off, some people are worried. It's the same event. Whether you're angry or worried had nothing to do with the event, it's the habits of your mind"
"Do you tend to focus more on what you have or what's missing? Do you focus more on what you can control or what you can't? Do you focus more on the past, the present, or the future?"
"If you constantly look at what's missing, it's hard to ever stay fulfilled. If you focus on what you can't control, you're overwhelmed and stressed. And if you focus on the past, which you can't change, that makes you angry or sad or frustrated. If you focus on what you have, you're going to be more fulfilled"
"Instead of saying I want a New Year's resolution, another rule for myself, I need to change the ruler. A lot of times we don't even see that we're the ruler"

Kurt Warner shares the lesson that changed his entire career and it applies to everything.
He sat on the bench for 4 years in college. When a friend asked the coaches why he wasn't playing, the answer wasn't what he expected:
"The reason I wasn't playing was because I was not very good in practice."
His first reaction? Allen Iverson mode.
"Practice? What're you talking about, practice?"
But then he did the math.
"In college we play 12 games in 365 days. In the NFL we play 16 games in 365 days."
That's less than 5% of your year.
"95% of our lives are lived in practice. And the biggest impression we make on people, the way people can understand and really realize who we are, is what we do every day in practice."
This is the 95% Rule. And it applies to everything - sports, business, relationships, life.
1: Show Up With Your Best Effort - Compete and give your best every single day. People can't question how you show up - your effort, attitude, and actions. Consistency removes doubt.
2: Trust Is Built In Practice, Not Games - Trust is earned in the thousands of moments before it's given. Before you can be trusted, people want to know you're dependable. Every day. Not just when it matters.
3: Master Daily Consistency - Success isn't about intensity - it's about consistency. Your habits compound. What you do daily defines who you become.
4: Big Moments Are Earned In Small Moments - The little details make the biggest difference. Greatness starts with preparation - it's earned in the boredom of doing the work when no one's watching.
Excellence isn't an event - It's a habit.
Practice is where trust is built.
How you show up daily is who you really are.
