[008] impact is eternal.
don’t wait until it’s too late to start making a difference.
To the person:
In the grand scheme of life, each of us is allotted a birth date and a death date—a finite span of time to navigate the complexities of existence. It is within this finite window that the essence of what makes us human unfolds. Between these two markers of our journey lies a humble symbol: the dash. This unassuming punctuation mark, resting between our birth and death dates, encapsulates the entirety of our lived experience—the laughter, the tears, the triumphs, and the trials.
It is within this dash that the story of our lives is written, for us that will be a story of growth, discovery, and transformation. The beauty of being human lies not in the amount of years we are granted, but in the depth of our experiences within that finite timeframe. It is within the confines of the dash that we have the opportunity to leave our mark on the world, to shape our legacy, and to fulfill our highest potential. You only get one dash to make an impact. Use it wisely.
To the player:
During our careers, every player is given a finite amount of time to leave their mark on the game. This is our opportunity to shape our legacy, to make a lasting impact, and to fulfill our highest potential. The last thing we would want, is to get to the end of our career and feel like we left some stones unturned. It’s not until the end that we typically realize how precious of an opportunity we had, when it was right in front of us the entire time.
TRY THIS:
As you navigate the challenges and triumphs of your basketball career, remember the profound significance of the limited amount of time you get to play the game. Embrace each game with gratitude and intention, knowing that the impact you make has the power to resonate far beyond the confines of the court. I urge you to seize the opportunity. Play with passion, compete with intensity not just against your opponents but also against your previous self. Be the best version of you that you can be and live with the results of whatever that brings you.
