Grit, Desire and Discipline
Our Wednesday Wisdom comes from one of our favorite New York Football Giants, Michael Strahan.
On the days when you wake up feeling like you have nothing else to give, remember that you’re tougher than you realize. You’ve got grit, kid! Your deep desire to make your child’s life better and your discipline to get through the day will fuel you.
Keep pushing. Even if we don’t get a Super Bowl ring at the end, our reward will be wonderful. We’re giving our child the opportunity at their best life. We’ve got this!
