I thought my purpose was in the jobs that I was doing over the years but that was just preparing me. @MQBLW #purpose #theartofplayingwell
When I got fired by the NBA I thought it had come to an end because I no longer had the platform of sports to do good in society. @MQBLW #purpose #resilience #theartofplayingwell
I was living a purpose but I don’t think I was living MY purpose. @MQBLW #purpose #theartofplayingwell
I got fired for the first time in my life, so I made the conscious and deliberate decision to respond well. @MQBLW #resilience #theartofplayingwell
When I was down, those who were in my life and really cared about me wanted to help me. @MQBLW #relationships #theartofplayingwell
Life gives us whatever it gives us. I’m a single dad, and it’s a wonderful opportunity to shape the next generation. @MQBLW #legacy #balance #theartofplayingwell
When people care about you and trust you, relationships blossom and you can live your best life. @MQBLW #potential #relationships #trust #theartofplayingwell
I just treat people the way I would hope they would treat me. @MQBLW #relationships #theartofplayingwell
I’ve always viewed leading with fear as dysfunctional. Yes, they have to follow you but it doesn’t gain true loyalty. @MQBLW #leadership #theartofplayingwell
