“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” That can be a dangerous mindset for any leader or any organization. It has been said that the only constant is change. Things change, people change, circumstances change. Just because something works today, or this year, is no guarantee that it will work tomorrow or next year. As leaders, we must constantly evaluate everything we do, and sometimes, even make changes to things that are working very well.

We can talk about our values and priorities all we want, but our actions will make them clear.

🐝| West Virginia State University would like to thank Stevin "Hedake" Smith for taking his time to share his story. Hedake educated the young adults of our institution on the dangers of all and any gambling, and the path it can lead one down. Thank you, Hedake! #GoState

Stevin "Hedake" Smith spoke with @wvsuathletics student athletes about the dangers of gambling. He shared his story of how a few small bets snowballed into being at the center of a scandal in the 1990s around fixing games at Arizona State, and ultimately derailed his NBA career and landed him in jail. He took time after every session to speak in small groups with our student athletes. His passion and commitment to making a difference made an impact on our student athletes!

Your actions today say a lot about what you believe about the future.

No one became their best by focusing on someone else’s flaws and mistakes. Let’s not bash Tiger Woods. Let’s pray for the healing he needs. Everyone has a hole in their soul. You can fill it up with alcohol and things that bring temporary relief but don’t bring restoration. Or you can fill it up with God’s love and presence that heals and restores you. We all are looking to fill the hole. When you fill it with God you won’t need or want anything else.
