QUOTES

10:34 "I made this commitment to myself like you're going to be great. And at 15 years old you don't know what great is, so I was like football. Let's try football. So that was like the first step of me building into the efforts of what it took to be great."

12:26 "The return on the investment of effort into football returned not just a better skilled player, but that sense of deserving. And what happened was I got to this level, we all get to this level of the return is confidence, self esteem, joy."

20:57 "He says, do you mind if I pray with you to accept Christ? And so I did. And at that moment, it was this thing where the world kind of spun differently for me. The perspective of how I show up in the world and something being bigger than me and what was right and wrong outside of how I felt about what felt right and felt wrong."

26:41 "I believe the world that we experience is a mirror to us. Heavily. If I show up negatively, I get negative. If I show up positive, I get positive. Now I could only give out what I have inside. If inside I have joy, I'm going to give that out. It gets mirrored back."

36:00 "I can identify as a person in my actions who will give the marriage what it needs. And sometimes a marriage is needing something from me, not me needing something from her. And so that identification of who I am and how I show up, it's a constant ebb and flow."
