But if I listen to the voice of fear and doubt that night, we're not having this conversation today.

And the world doesn't have the coffee me message.

So what I'm telling everybody listening to this is you don't give up in life when it gets tough.

You don't quit because life gets hard.

You don't not ask your questions in life.

The only question you know the answer to in life for sure is,

Is the one you do not ask.

That answer is no every time because you never ask your question.

Mick, I think Wayne Gretzky said it best.

He said you miss 100% of the shots you do not take.

You gotta go take your shots, brother.

You left it all on the field.

You're hitting on something very big right there, Mick.

Let's not gloss over what you just said, man.

I was able to sleep like a baby because I could look myself in the eyes in that mirror, and I see the man in the mirror, and I felt proud about that person.

My buddy Ed Milet says, confidence comes from the promises that you keep to yourself.

I'll never forget when he said that to me.

we got to keep the promises we make to ourselves and the more we keep the promises we make to ourselves the more confident of a person we become and it starts off with little bitty promises but i told myself that night i was going to talk to eight coaches and i did i talked to eight coaches and i felt good about it because that was the promise i made when i walked the door i didn't promise myself i'd get a yes

I didn't know if I'd get a yes or not, but I knew I had to go try.

And you have to go try, too.
