Weekend Inspiration - Coach John Wooden



Pyramid of Success
"Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are." - John Wooden

It is important to take time to reflect, whether it is a weekly visit to church or a reading of inspiration, we all need to regroup and focus on what is important. Life is so busy, so complicated, but so wonderful!  Sometimes it gets so hectic and hard, that we forget just how wonderful.  Mass(church) is my personal place I go to "re-group."  I also enjoy reading inspirational words from others who have led and who were once great examples.

I recently found a great website that is filled with inspirational quotes and stories on how to gain personal happiness and success.

Coach John Wooden

If you never heard of Coach Wooden, let me introduce you!  John Wooded coached UCLA to 10 National basketball championships.  He was known as a man of great character, conviction, and straightforwardness.  John Wooden touched so many people, that a website was created in his honor.  At Coach Wooden you can learn about this man's life and also read his words and theories on happiness and success.  Besides reading all his great quotes, there is a great "pyramid of success" he outlines.  It incorporates loyalty, friendship, and other qualities we should all strive to obtain and share.

I hope you check out this inspirational website and most of all, I hope it leaves you something to feel good about!


"Be true to yourself, help others, make each day your masterpiece, make friendship a fine art, drink deeply from good books - especially the Bible, build a shelter against a rainy day, give thanks for your blessings and pray for guidance every day." - John Wooden



Cheers!!
