Life Is All About Making Choices

I'm a great believer that we have obligations and responsibilities, and that life's all about making choices.
- Lou Holtz

On the most recent episode of my podcast, Unplugged with Brandon Steiner, I spoke with former head coach of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Lou Holtz.

Lou Holtz is one of the greatest college football coaches of all-time, and in 1988 he was able to bring the Fighting Irish a championship to complete a perfect season. Following his success at Notre Dame, he spent time as the head coach at South Carolina and also became  a well-established ESPN analyst. Now he spends most of his time giving motivational speeches across the entire country.

In this interview there was one thing that stood out to me that I have never forgotten. Lou talks about how life is all about making choices. He than said this line that seemed to stick with me saying "You choose to run around with the wrong people, you ended up choosing to fail in life."

In the end life is all about making choices. Do you choose to take that job? Do you choose to take a chance on your dreams? Do you choose to settle for average?

No one can make the choices in your life, except for you. You have to choose the life you want to live. 

Lou Holtz chose to "Play Like A Champion" each and every day, and it shows in the results he has produced over his career.  

 In this episode we talk about...

  • Counting blessings, as apposed to counting problems
  • Passion, Love, Hope, and Believing in others 
  • Where the phrase "Play Like A Champion" came from
  • Lou's thoughts on George Steinbrenner
  • How football is like life
  • What he plans to accomplish in the future
  • ...and more.

  • EFFECTIVE LOVE SPELL TO GET EX HUSBAND/BOYFRIEND OR EX WIFE/GIRLFRIEND AND CURE HERPES AND INFERTILITY THAT WORKS WITHIN 24 HOURS.

    Contact Doctor Odunga at odungaspelltemple@gmail.com OR Whats App/CALL +2348167159012

    I got my ex husband back to me and also got fertile and gave birth to twin girls after 12 years of marriage.
    When I came online last year, I saw a testimony about Doctor Odunga and how he has been helping people with marriage issues and I decided to contact him. We spoke on email at odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and later he gave me his Whats-App number which is +2348167159012. He assured me he would help me get my ex husband back after 3 years of no contact. Doctor Odunga is the best spell caster I must say. My husband called me after 24 hours of contact. The third day, I received natural herbs for fertility and after using it, I became fertile and conceived. My husband and I reconnected, had sex and I was pregnant. Presently I am happy to say I am the mother of twin girls and this is ALL THANKS TO DOCTOR ODUNGA. I came online to say this: If you need help, I believe you are saved with this man.

    Contact his email at odungaspelltemple@gmail.com

    OR Whats App/Call +2348167159012 and you too will give a testimony too to help others
