The 2nd Ten Comandments - #1

How Lucky You Can Be: The Story of Coach Don Meyer


I just finished reading "How Lucky You Can Be...The Story of Coach Don Meyer" by Buster Olney.  What a great book about a truly inspiring person.  As I read the book I was reminded of all of the handouts and notes that I have from listening to Don Meyer in coaches clinics over the last eleven years.  Then today I came across one of his handouts that I think applies to situations beyond basketball.  It is titled The 2nd Ten Commandments.  The first one is "Thou shall not worry; for worry is the most unproductive of all human activities."  After reading that one, I figure I might be one of the most unproductive people in society.  All kidding aside, how often do we spend an inordinate amount of time worrying about things which we have no control over?  If it is not something that we can control than it is important for us to dismiss it and focus on actions that we can control.  So, what is your next best action?
