The one common responsibility all of us have every single day is to become the best version of ourselves as possible. We do this to ensure that we live a valuable, fulfilled, and meaningful life, and also to ensure that we are contributing to the harmony of the world we live in. In order to do that, it is helpful to have a set of core beliefs on how to live responsibly and make it through the challenging times that all of us will face. Through my experiences in football, particularly the no-nonsense world of the NFL, I developed these “rules” or essential behaviors that I feel are critical to living that meaningful life that we all seek.
