I receive inspiring quotes on email with the purpose of encouraging others as well – here is the description to go with today’s INSPIRING QUOTE!

Today’s look at self-creating comes from the ‘punk poet’ Henry Rollins where he points at being unimaginative and stagnant is among the biggest transgressions that an individual can make in their life.

Today we look at the meaning ‘helping others without expecting being paid back’ and it comes from an inspirational quote from the legendary collegiate basketball coach John Wooden where he references that a perfect day has not been lived without doing something for someone who will never be able to pay you back.

Living a life possessed with unparalleled humility, legendary collegiate basketball coach John Wooden used his patented ‘Pyramid of Success’ to give his young and impressionable players the tools to succeed in both life and sports.

            While turning a poor UCLA athletics program into a powerhouse that won 10 NCAA National Titles, he continually maintained that while true success wasn’t based on accolades, it was based on being your best self-possible.

            With the inspiring quote we share today, we speak to the ideology of John Wooden – the life he lived by what he called a ‘Seven Point Creed’. A creed that shunned egoism and prioritized helping others.

            This is a reminder that the greatest reward isn’t necessarily wealth or fame, but being there for others, regardless of whether you receive anything in return.

            May all enjoy and be inspired by the words of the legendary John Wooden.

            Until next time – Stay Inspired, Stay Positive, Stay Happy, and most of all Love Thyself!!
