One of my recurring interests is NFL football. I appreciate the athleticism and intelligence required, along with the strategy and tactics. Many games are played out in every down.

I found an article on ESPN today about advice rookies provide to the next generation of players joining the NFL ranks. As I read the advice and suggestions, many struck as something that writers — and people in other endeavors — can use to help themselves as they try to advance.

These resonated with me the most.

Never lose your confidence

‘Comparison is the thief of joy’

Take everything one day at a time

Stay patient

‘Listen to the vets’

‘Take care of your body’

I hope you can take the time to read the article. Maybe you’ll find some which help you keep moving forward.

Cheers
