Pearl of Wisdom

I’ve missed more than 9, 000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been asked to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over again in my life. And that’s why I succeed.

Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.

I have so many things to work on, and so many ways that I fail. But that’s what grace is all about, and I constantly wake up every morning trying to get better, trying to improve, trying to walk closer to God.
