CHARACTER

"There are too many people who think that the only thing that's right is to get by.  And the only thing that's wrong is to get caught."  J.C. Watts

Who are you?

CHARACTER.

Our CHARACTER is on display at all times.

It is either good.....or it is not so good.

I have said for years that our lives are like a tube of toothpaste.  No matter where you get squeezed, what you have on the inside of you will come out.

Either way, your true CHARACTER, good or bad, is what will come out and be on display for all to see.

This ideal was on display today in my state.

The University of Nebraska's Athletic Director displayed it.

The Head Football Coach (who just got relieved of his duties) displayed it.

CHARACTER.

No tantrums.

No pointing the finger at others.

What was on display?  CLASS!

As a fan, the "Wins and Losses" outcome was difficult to watch.  A change had to be made if the program wants to get back to a place of long ago.

But we lost a really good guy today.  

Really good guys don't always win....but they will succeed!

Why?

Because they don't look at their present situation as a final blow.

There's a saying that says, "Every setback is a setup for a comeback!"

I have said recently that as long as there is time on the clock, there is still a chance!

But it takes discipline.....it takes CHARACTER to get through the initial disappointment and focus on that setup for the comeback!

So if you are like the 'ball coach who's looking for a new job, or you are like the AD having to make the tough decisions, whatever place you find yourself in today, remember, CHARACTER...your CHARACTER is what is important...even when no one is looking!
