This video hit me hard...

Legendary basketball coach John Wooden shares a poem that he has framed in his home.

"A careful man I must always be, a little fellow follows me."

It offers a powerful reminder for all of us:

Actions, not words, are what matter in the end.

There is always someone watching and learning from your actions.

Your actions create ripples in the world.

Whether it's your little fellow, a neighbor, a partner, a friend, or an enemy: Someone is always watching.

The best parenting, relationship, and life advice:

Make a list of the values you want to see others embrace, then go out and embody those yourself.

You change the world by first changing yourself.

"I must be careful as I go, through summer’s sun and winter’s snow, because I am building for the years to be, this little chap who follows me."

My little fellow that follows me

I always loved this John Wooden quote:

"Whatever you do in life, surround yourself with smart people who’ll argue with you."

Such an important life philosophy.
