Priorities of Life, A Super Story for the Super Bowl Champ!


"What we leave here is our legacy; our name, our children. The Steelers are a very important priority to me. But the rearing of my three children is number one."

Mike Tomlin

At a Glance
If you could sum up Mike Tomlin’s view of family, it would be “joyful lifting.” Not in a burdensome way, but the lifting up of his wife and children for them to be all God created them to be. Coach Tomlin’s family life started with lifting – weightlifting that is. He met his wife Kiya in the weight room at William & Mary College – she was a gymnast recovering from a shoulder injury and he was rehabbing a football injury. While they became friends for two years before dating, he knew early on that there was something special about her. She was beautiful inside and out. At her mother’s house on Christmas Eve in 1995, Mike surprised Kiya and proposed. Despite being caught totally off-guard, to Mike’s delight, she still said yes right away.

A few years later, Mike also experienced the joyful lifting of his first son Michael when he was born. Coach said, “When I lifted him the first time, he was so light, yet so heavy,” referring to the seriousness of his call as a father. The joy and responsibility he felt at Michael’s birth repeated it self again with the birth of his second son, Mason, and more recently, the birth of his first daughter Harlyn Quinn.


Mike also does heavy lifting regularly…with his cereal spoon. He said having breakfast with his children is a wonderful time for conversation. “I have found some of our best moments occur around our breakfast table. It’s in those times that I feel I am really getting to know my kids, what they like and what they are struggling with. It also gives me an opportunity to teach them things that are important for me to pass along like loving the Lord and how to make good decisions. And I want to make sure they always know how much I love them.”Mike knows how important it is to have the security of Dad’s love. As a young boy, he never knew his biological father. But fortunately, Mike was joyfully lifted when his mother remarried and his new step father became the All Pro Dad in Mike’s life. “He is a wonderful man who coached my little league teams and eventually became my best friend.”Mike has spent a lot of time joyfully lifting, but truth be told, he has been lifted further than he can imagine by the unconditional love of his family. And he wants fathers everywhere to know that a dad’s duty is delightful…and joyful.
Here is a group of MEN that belong to All Pro Dad, which Tony Dungy has inspired to help change men, young and old:

NFL AdvoCare Monday Night! Worriers vs Warriors and the AdvoCare tools

FROM ROB GRAF, ADVOCARE'S DIRECTOR OF ENDORSEMENTS

Greetings Team AdvoCare!

One could argue that AdvoCare endorser Phil Dawson completed a triple play last night! No it's not baseball, but Phil accomplished three great feats last night in Cleveland's 29-27 win at Buffalo. 1. He nailed a career-long 56-yard field goal (the longest of his career) with 1:39 left to seal the win. With this 56 yard game-winner he becomes the first kicker in Browns history to make a kick of 50 or more yards in three consecutive weeks. 2. His first field goal of the night was the 200th of his career. 3. He made a total of 5 field goals in conditions that were not quite ideal for kicking. Congratulations Phil!


Team:Cleveland
What Phil uses:AdvoCare Spark® Energy DrinkJoint ProMotion™OmegaPlex®

What Phil says about AdvoCare products:"I love these products and the results they've given me. They've helped me build my stamina, strength, and focus -- you name it.

TEAM:
Sometimes the best things in life are free...
Ron Reynolds put his toughts together every day Monday-Friday with Vitamins for the Mind on your AdvoCare web site. No cost, nothing but a few minutes of your time. Many of AdvoCare's training tools and the majority of all trainings are FREE. Charlie Ragus did not want us charging for training events outside of Success School. We followed his wishes and anyone on a different track is OFF track.
AdvoLink: The training tool that brings the story to life with a voice. As Donna Cash put it best: "AdvoLink is oxygen to your business." Some might say it is outdated and that may be true in some ways but ask your new, actively engaged, distributors what they think about AdvoLink. "It is great, I listen to it everyday, in fact my wife and I both listen to it as part of our daily routine." That quote is from a couple that has generated over $10,000 in the last two months.

There are so many great tools it is hard to say you should use just one. Use what works for you. IF you find webinars work for you, then do it. If you find three-way calls work for you, then do it. IF you find doing home based mixers work for you, then do it. If you have the most success with one on ones then do it. JUST DO IT!

Find what works the best for you and "milk it 'til it's dry." Coach Hayden Fry, the legendary coach from Iowa had that saying about running a football play. If a play works why not run it again or two times in a row? Keep running it until it does not work anymore. The same thing applies to your AdvoCare business. If something is not working it may be time to change the tool or change you! Your AdvoCare business is up to you and no one else to get it done. Build your team with strength and when the strong wind blows you will still have a team.

Generation Of Warriors (Vitamins for the Mind, Ron Reynolds, November 18th)
There is a very large group of people within each generation who become the "worriers" of that generation, and who allow others to do their thinking for them and to cause their attitudes to be set by those "others." Second, each generation creates its own group of "warriors" - those who forge their own beliefs, their own convictions about life and business, and who blaze new trails leading to new achievements, discoveries and breakthroughs. The first group outnumbers the second by an extremely wide margin, and it has been that way throughout 6,000 years of recorded human history. Most seek the safety and security of a job and of surroundings that offer familiarity; they do not understand the concept that one must always risk going too far in order to discover how far they can really go, so they go on living what can for many of them be defined as an unwillingness to take a leap of faith. As result of not having greater control over their lives, they become worriers, which leads to a loss of self-esteem and self-confidence, followed by apprehension and fear. With the passing of a little time, those degrading emotions become controlling habits, and in the twinkling of an eye, all hope is lost.

The warriors - few as they may be amid the multitude of worriers - go on exploring, examining, trying, falling, failing and then arising to try again, often in pursuit of something even they cannot define. They understand that real success, combined with an unshakable faith and contentment, always resides on the far side of difficulty, on the far side of setbacks, on the far side of rejection and occasional self-doubt. The warriors included Columbus who sought the new world, the astronauts who sought the conquest of space, Edison who believed in something he could not see nor prove, and even Charles E. Ragus, the Founder of AdvoCare, who sought a business enterprise that would build people as a prerequisite to the people building financial security and debt freedom for themselves. The worriers include those countless souls of all generations, who walk that long, dark corridor between victory and defeat, never winning but never quite losing, allowing the darkness of where they are to hide them from their mediocrity and from all the others around them, who are also lurking in the shadows of a self-imposed obscurity. To not really win and not really lose may be a safe haven on this earth and in this life, but we must - in all that we do, or choose not to do - remember that we choose our next life by what we choose to do in this one. That somber thought should prod all of us to reach higher, try harder and do better; to be a warrior, not a worrier.
