It was an honor and pleasure for me this past weekend to listen to a brief talk given by the legendary football coach of Baylor University from 1972-1992, Coach Grant Teaff. He does not know who I am, or that I was there, or even that I would take his words to heart and share them with you.
Coach Teaff is an inspiring man, as an excellent coach should be (http://baylorbears.cstv.com/trads/bay-grantteaff.html), and he knows something about how to set the tone of the day. Coach Teaff told me that he has a phrase that he uses every day of his life; one, that when repeated, inspires him. If ever he is experiencing a negative state, this phrase unlocks the door of negativity allowing him to escape to empowerment and success.
Sometimes we find ourselves wanting but not knowing what we want. And this simple phrase will provide you guidance in that state as well.
I am only one, but I am one.
I can't do everything, but I can do something.
That which I can do, I ought to do.
That which I ought to do, by God's grace I shall do.
- Coach Grant Teaff
Thank you coach,
