One of my assistant coaches constantly uses a term that I am finding describes what I think life is all about. The term is "good living" and what he means by this is that if you live life the right way and are a good person, good things will happen to you. Call it karma, call it the golden rule, call it whatever you want but when you live smart good things happen to you.
If you live with a service mentality then you will ultimately see the appreciation of your peers that understand the concept. It is the reason that my families non-negotiables are UPAID. The ability to pay the price of living with cooperation (unity), living with passion, living with appreciation (service driven, purpose driven, without out worrying about getting yours all the time), integrity (do the right things no matter what), and diligence (grinding it out and persevering) will ultimately pay you back and then some.
Serving others is inately part of paying the price and its returns are incalcuable. No judgements, if I can help you without compromising my faith or family I'm yours. That is "good living"! Thank you dad for modeling that for me every day of my life, thank you Coach Diebel for your thoughts on "good living".
