“It’s okay not to be okay. But it’s NOT okay to stay that way.” This message hits different because it represents everything I stand for. This is my 17-year-old daughter, working toward her dream of playing softball at the college level. What people don't see are the sacrifices behind that dream. The missed parties, the time away from friends, the long practices, the early mornings, and the days when she doesn't feel like showing up but does anyway. As a father, I know it's not easy watching your child make those sacrifices. But I'm also watching her build something bigger than softball: discipline, character, resilience, and the ability to keep going when things get uncomfortable. This is why she wrote 2 books. I always tell her, YOUR GOALS HAVE TO BE BIGGER THAN YOUR DISTRACTIONS. And that doesn't just apply to sports. It applies to business, finances, family, and LIFE. You're allowed to have bad days. You're allowed to struggle. Just don't let a difficult season become your permanent destination. I hope this pushes someone today, whether you're 17 chasing a dream or 40 trying to turn your life around. Sacrifice is temporary. The person you become through it stays with you forever. 💯🙏
