Champions are not made on mountaintops. Champions discover their greatness through the winding valleys in the midst of the fight—the power of resilience.

Closing the door on the old year while ringing in the new year gives way for the hope of what's possible.

For just a moment, everything around you feels possible. You are convinced within a millisecond that your dreams are possible.   All fears are frozen in time. Hope is at every turn.   But then, you take a breath, and the reality of life sets in.   In November of 2018, Alex Smith experienced a gruesome accident while playing football for the Washington Football team, formally known as the Washington Redskins. He had a compound fracture in his leg.  

At one point, there was a grave concern for his life and the possibility of an amputation. Seventeen surgeries later in nine months (that's about one surgery every two weeks), he is back playing in the NFL for his Washington football team.

Alex Smith's Story

Good luck to you, Alex, and your Washington teammates.

Alex demonstrates the power of resilience.

Resilience is defined as the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties; toughness.

You are not born with resilience. It comes with failure. And through your failures, greatness is lived out.

It's about fulfilling what God has placed on your heart.

The K.I.S.S. ~ Become resilient!

Resilience does not come easy because it's found in the trenches.

1. Step into what you don't know. Fear fades when you step into what you don't know. The unknown is scary only because you don't know. So get to know it, and it's no longer scary just maybe a little nerve-racking.
2. Discipline yourself with intentional actions. Here is where you create your now. You determine what needs to be done, and you walk it out. This is a daily decision.
3. Keep the flame of hope burning. Celebrate the small wins and losses. This is progress. If hope is alive, you are alive.

Nothing is impossible!

When you commit to moving forward, your heart and mind continue to build your resilience. There is where you will find your power when life happens.

"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
