One of my favorite songs . . . .
All things work for our good though sometimes we don’t see how they could.
Struggles that break our hearts in two sometimes blinded to the truth.
Our Father knows what best for us His ways are not our own.
So when your pathway grows dim and you just don’t see him
remember you’re never alone.
God is too wise to be mistaken
God is too good to be unkind. So when you don’t understand
when you don’t see His plan when you can’t trace His hand trust his heart, trust his heart.
(He alone is faithful and true he alone knows what is best for you).
He sees the master plan and he holds our future in His hand
so don’t live as those who have no hope for our hope is found in him.
We see the present clearly but he sees the 1st and the last and like a tapestry he’s weaving you and me to someday be just like him Ohhh.

John Wooden, A Timeless Leader
"A life not lived for others is not life."
"Reputation is what others perceive you as being, and their opinion maybe right or wrong. Character, however, is what you really are, and nobody truly knows that but you. But you are what matters most."
"It's better to trust and be disappointed sometimes than to mistrust and be miserable the rest of your life."
"Be quick, but not hurry."
"Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming."
"Talent is God-given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful."
"A player who makes a team great is more valuable than a great player. Losing yourself in the group, for the good of the group, that’s teamwork."
"Sports don't build character, they reveal it."
"Failing to prepare is preparing to fail."
"Don't mistake activity for achievement."
"Goodness Gracious sakes alive."
"The worst things you can do for the ones you love are things they could and should do for themselves."
"You don't know our coach. He doesn't see color. He just sees ballplayers."
"Little things make big things happen."
"It's what you learn after you know it all that counts."
"When everyone is thinking the same, no one is thinking."
Very meaningful words. . . . These are just some of the quotes I got from watching the John Wooden Clip.
Who is John Wooden?
John Robert Wooden is a retired American basketball coach. He is a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame as both a player and a coach. He was the first person ever enshrined in both categories; only Lenny Wilkens and Bill Sharman have since been so honored. He is widely regarded as the greatest college coach in history and his 10 NCAA National Championships while at UCLA are unmatched.
John Wooden took on the challenge of coaching an ailing basketball team. People wouldn't know how he turned a "loser" team into a team of champions. Members of the team have these to say about him:
"He never talked about winning."
"He encourages us to be the best of what we do; that we can still look in the mirror after doing it."
John Wooden walked his talked. He aligned basketball with each of the member's real life. Like every coach, I am very sure that he had envisioned to win, but he translated that vision to a bigger picture by encouraging each one to do and be the best that he can.
Indeed, he is a timeless leader. Long after he's gone, his words and deeds will be remembered.
