My Message to Yardbarker Fans - Make A Stand

Sometimes in life, we try to create what we think should happen. Sometimes God has a totally different plan. He wants to see if I can continue to be the leader that I am. He wants to see if I come to work with the same energy to lead my ball club, no matter what happens. No matter if someone fumbles, no matter if somebody blows coverage, am I going to turn my back on my teammates? And it's the same thing in life. What do you get out of life when things don't go your way? What if it's not your season? What if it's not your week? I want to tell my Yardbarker fans that life ain't always the way you planned it. But make sure your mind is in the right place, no matter what the situation is. And when the day ends, you'll be able to say that no matter what came at me, I was able to stand against whatever came. And that's the same thing I think life is about. Life is about making a stand. Making one stand that I know things won't always be the way I want them to be, but I got faith enough to know that whatever it is, I'm OK with it because I know God is willing our mind. If I got a message for anybody, just know that life ain't always perfect. But if you have your mind right in life, you don't have to run around all circumstances. You don't run from losses. You go through them, because when you go through them, that's what builds a man, that's what builds integrity, that's what builds character -- going through things, not around them.
