3 Ideas, 2 Quotes, and 1 Question to help you reflect on your work-life wellness and balance habits this week.
3 Ideas from Me
I.
“Just as the football quarterback has the responsibility to know each player’s assignments, it is our responsibility as parents to know each of our family members’ needs.
It is our duty as the family quarterback to help guide, coach, and teach them how to score their own touchdowns in life.”
II.
“Scoring wins in life is not easy and takes a lot of hard work. Like the quarterback who leads the team down the field, we often make great gains, and sometimes we have setbacks.
It is in these setbacks where we can learn, grow and turn them into set-ups for future successes.” A bad experience can lead to substantial growth if we show up on the practice field each and every day.”
III.
“It is on the practice field where we build our physical, mental, and spiritual health. Remember, all of our family players are watching how we practice. If we and our co-captains (spouses) wish to pour out everything we have on each other and our children, then it is imperative to fill our cups regularly because we cannot pour from an empty cup.
It is through our mind, body, and spiritual strengths that our children can greatly benefit as they follow us as leaders. The touchdowns of tomorrow are predicated on how we practice today. Don’t have the time or energy? Perhaps rearrange your priorities because I believe nothing is more important to you than your family.

II.

– Vince Lombardi, One of the Greatest NFL Coaches
