It’s a position that many of you have been preparing for and training for your entire life, yet you may be unaware that you have been prepping for one of the greatest leagues on earth. The ups and downs of life, the victories you have achieved, and the setbacks you have received along the way, has gotten you to where you are now. As you look back in life, you can see how you have grown in maturity. The old strategies of thinking solely about you and being self-absorbed as
