Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.
Sacrifice, discipline and prayer are essential. We gain strength through God's word. We receive grace from the sacrament. And when we fumble due to sin - and it's gonna happen - confession puts us back on the field.
No matter what happens on the field, getting an education makes you a winner.
One thing about me is I try to be honest.
It is a fine thing to have ability, but the ability to discover ability in others is the true test.
I believe that having a spiritual life is so important in everybody's life.
