5 things I told myself when I got cut from the NFL 1. I can look 👀 myself in the mirror knowing I gave it everything I had—and I can live with that. There’s peace in knowing I showed up fully and left nothing on the table. 2. I won’t stop ✋🏾 working just because the cards didn’t fall in my favor. Setbacks don’t define me—how I respond to them does. 3. 🫵🏽I won’t BCD—blame, complain, or defend. I’ll take accountability, stay focused, and put my energy into what I can control. 4. I will be ready 🔜for my next opportunity based on the work I put in when nobody is watching. Preparation doesn’t start when the spotlight hits—it starts in the dark. 5. I am HIM. 🥷🏾I won’t let anyone tell me the gifts God gave me—and that I’ve worked hard to develop—aren’t enough. No politics, opinions, or circumstances can take away what’s already in me. #nfl #footballplayer #nflplayer #athlete #mentalhealth
