John Wooden is the greatest coach of all time.
Not just because of the championships but because of the way he taught and led.
His wisdom went beyond basketball.
It was about life.
He lived by a set of simple but powerful rules.
Here are John Wooden’s 7 Rules of LIFE.
1: BE TRUE TO YOURSELF - You are who you are. If we are not true to ourselves, we cannot be true to others. Don't try to be someone you are not. Be honest with yourself. Be the best version of yourself that you can be. That is all you can ask for.
2: HELP OTHERS - Sharing and giving back to others brings you JOY. Be kind to your neighbor. Lend a helping hand. Be a servant leader, not a self-serving leader.
3: MAKE EACH DAY YOUR MASTERPIECE - Each day is new. Treat it as such. Have a great attitude. Give your best effort. Make the most of each day. Get 1% Better Each Day - This is the GOAL.
4: DRINK DEEPLY FROM GOOD BOOKS - Be a life-long learner. There is so much to know and learn in this world. Seek knowledge every chance you can.
5: MAKE FRIENDSHIP A FINE ART - Life is about relationships. The happiest people have the deepest relationships. Don't take friendship for granted. Be purposeful. Connect with others. Be a great friend. Make someone else's day with your kind words.
6: BUILD SHELTER AGAINST A RAINY DAY - Plan for the Future. Have Faith. Your Faith is your Greatest Shelter.
7: BE GRATEFUL - GIVE THANKS FOR BLESSINGS - "How much more pleasant this world would be if we magnified our blessings the way we magnified disappointments." Give thanks for what you have been given. So many people have it so much worse than you do. Always remember this.
