Keep Jumping / No Hating
Page 19
When I went back out for defense, it was like the story of my life. So many times people look at what other folks got, and they do not want to stay in their own lane. They do not want to focus on where they want to go. They do not do their assignments. They are so full of rage that they are not free. Free to live. Free to try. Free to dream. Free to be successful, and free to soar. When the quarterback threw the ball in my direction, I caught it and ran it in for a touchdown. The Lions focused on our goals and supported one another. There was no hating, only supporting. That camaraderie led to a huge victory.
