It’s OK To Be Flawed

Chazz Woodson - Words of Wisdom

Good Monday morning! Maybe I’m wrong. I’m pretty sure that there was a time in the past (possibly a past life) where I could really sing. I mean, I could drop notes like it was my business. In fact, I’m not really sure why I was never awarded a multimillion dollar recording contract. I guess […]

Learning From Yourself

Chazz Woodson - Words of Wisdom

Happy Friday! Don’t compare yourself to others. Compare yourself to the person from yesterday. I’m not there yet, but I’m closer than I was yesterday. It’s very easy to look around and see what other people are doing, what they have, where they are in life. To measure our successes or lack thereof according to the successes of […]

Maintaining Control

Chazz Woodson - Words of Wisdom

Good morning! I just need one little thing to cheer me up. Anything. That’s the tweet that popped up in my timeline last night minutes before I fell asleep. We all hit rough patches; times when we need a little something extra to get us through a situation. Some patches are brief. Some are lengthy. The thing to […]

What Do You Owe?

Chazz Woodson - Words of Wisdom

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen! To whom, or for what are you responsible? If our “friends and family” is the best that we can come up with, I think we’re very shortsighted. I don’t expect that we’ll each shell out hundreds or thousands of dollars for every admirable cause on the planet, or hop on the next plane to […]

Value Of Influence

Chazz Woodson - Words of Wisdom

Happy Friday! Whenever I speak to groups, especially student-athletes and other young people, I make sure to mention that we all have a platform and an audience that pays attention to us each and every day. Whether our audience is 5 people or it’s 5,000 people, we have the opportunity to influence somebody’s life. Does that […]

Average Is My Enemy

Chazz Woodson - Words of Wisdom

Good afternoon! I don’t get any satisfaction from being average. Average represents an acceptance of mediocrity. The day that I’m content with being labeled, categorized, or defined as average or mediocre, will be the day that I’ve officially given up on everything that I’ve ever wanted in life. Even he, who is defined by societal […]

Choose Faith

Chazz Woodson - Words of Wisdom

Good morning! If you have no faith, you’ve lost your battle. – Bill Cosby No matter the battle … on the field, in the classroom, in the workplace, in a relationship … faith may or may not be the catalyst for success, but a lack of faith is the beginning of a commitment to failure. The beauty […]

Clear Vision

Chazz Woodson - Words of Wisdom

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! As we get older, we tend to move from relying on the advice of others to seeking the opinions of others. We make decisions based on sifting through the the information that we gather from a variety of sources, and then figuring out whether or not it is in line with […]

Making A Change

Chazz Woodson - Words of Wisdom

Happy Friday, ladies and gentlemen! Unfortunately we don’t always control the environment that we are in at the moment, the goings on of that environment, or the people in the environment. We only control the way we react to or handle our environment. Fortunately none of these things is permanent. Eventually we’ll leave the environment. […]

To Be Consistent

Small disciplines repeated with consistency every day lead to great achievements gained slowly over time. – John C. Maxwell Success is neither magical nor mysterious. Success is the natural consequence of consistently applying basic fundamentals.– Jim Rohn It’s not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives. It’s what we do consistently. […]

Opening Up To Differences

Chazz Woodson - Words of Wisdom

Some people require more praise than others. – 8,789 Words of Wisdom In life, our own experiences dictate the way we approach relationships with people. It’s natural. Our perceptions about life and the people that we interact with are rooted in our own experience with the world. Each of us is also wired a little differently. So we’ve […]

Accomplish More Do Less

Chazz Woodson - Words of Wisdom

Good morning! Today’s Words of Wisdom are from an article I came across earlier this week, titled “12 Ways to Accomplish More by Doing Less.” We all, at some point, feel that we are doing too much. Sometimes it’s by default, because we have a lot on our plates. Sometimes it’s our own fault, because […]
