Make Every Second Count for Something


The University of Oregon currently averages 52 points per game. You may like another college football team or may careless about college football all together. However, the reality is their offense is explosive and it scores an extreme amount of points.

This past weekend I noticed something that more than likely contributes to their high scoring offense. When most teams simply "take a knee" and let time expire before the end of each quarter or before halftime...the Oregon Ducks continue to play. There might only be a few seconds left before halftime and the Oregon Ducks are still going full steam ahead. They don't stop until TIME EXPIRES. They don't rest. They don't shut it down. They don't quit. They don't give up. Instead, they play every second of every quarter and MAKE EVERY SECOND COUNT for something.

Leaders do you see the connection? There are times in our lives when we take a "play off". When we just let the clock run out, instead of maximizing our opportunity to MAKE EVERY SECOND COUNT. I challenge you in life and in leadership to never give up, never give in, never miss out on an opportunity to make a difference.
