"Death is undefeated, but I'll take it to three overtimes. That's strength." Houston strength coach Kurt Hester was diagnosed with Stage IV melanoma. Six months later, he may have lost his hair, but not his indomitable spirit. More from @JenLada:

depression is often just: - no gym - no sleep - bad food - too much phone - zero purpose

Mike Leach said, "Nothing is really fun unless it's hard. We've got to embrace that things are going to be hard and we've got to embrace being excited when things are hard." The best don’t fear obstacles, they embrace them. You can't become great if you only chase what's easy.

These are the exact conversations that make you miss the hell outta ball.

In the long run, expressing yourself authentically and wearing your heart on your sleeve is the winning play. You repel anything and anyone who was not for you. Your friendships and relationships get so much tighter. No betrayal, vetted. No resentment from pretending. Business deals more solid. Shake hands and verbal confirmation is enough. Trust and honour. No trickery and scheming. Surround yourself with people you like, and never have to put up a pretence of feign or sterilise your personality. Genuine freedom. Diogenes in Athens. Torch finally reveals a real human being. You can think clearly because there’s no psychological load that others are burdened by. Can innovate because ur energy is not wasted on pleasantries and pretending. Brain isn’t castrated into constant fake virtue and cattle mind. So unburdened that you ascend to new heights others simply cannot reach.

The pain you experience is the price you pay to build the character you want. Patience is built through delay. Consistency is built through boredom. Toughness is built through suffering. It’s not punishment. It’s the only way to become the person you said you wanted to become.

Consistency is the currency of credibility.

Don’t forget God when you get what you have been praying for.

They’ve gotta host College GameDay from here

crazy that the God of the universe is on your side at all times and you don't think you can achieve your absolutely microscopic dust sized goals because the devil is whispering laughable deceit into your ears to make you feel alone, small, insecure, and insufficient

Second round is brewing. #themasters

Trust God. When one door closes, another one opens. Many times the door you want isn’t the one you need because God has a better one for you to walk through.
