Former NFL quarterback Tim Tebow says a good day is all about your attitude and gratitude.
“Some mornings the alarm goes off and everything in you says no. And honestly, that feeling is real,” Tebow expressed in an Instagram post this week.
He continued, “But feelings are fickle. They change by the hour. Convictions don’t.”
He knows that when he doesn’t feel positive, he has to think about what he’s grateful for and look for encouragement.
“The leaders who last aren’t the ones who always feel like it. They’re the ones who choose it anyway — gratitude, attitude, perspective, even when nothing in them wants to,” Tebow said. “Your attitude is your loudest testimony. What is it saying on the hard days?”
In his previous post from earlier this week, Tebow quoted Colossians 3, which speaks about a servant’s heart.
He captioned the post:
Give everything. Every time.
Not because someone is watching.
Not because you’ll get credit for it.
Not because it feels significant.
Because how you work is how you worship.
Tebow knows that many people who say they are believers are focused on the wrong things — like their situations — more than God or their relationship with Him.
“I’ll be honest, I’ve spent a lot of time trying to figure out my life… Planning the next move. Trying to make sense of my circumstances when things didn’t go as planned,” Tebow wrote on May 4.
“But here’s what God has been teaching me, there’s a difference between asking what’s next and asking what does God want. And those are very different questions,” he continued.
Uncertainty can lead you to answers. It can get you seeking God. It doesn’t mean that you throw in the towel.
Tebow said it’s “an invitation to stop white-knuckling your own plan and trust that His purpose is bigger than anything you could map out on your own.”
In another post, Tebow explained that God knows his children aren’t perfect. All he asks is that they have a willing heart to seek and hear Him.
“You don’t have to have it figured out,” he said. “You don’t have to be good enough. You just have to be willing.”
“It’s okay to feel afraid or have questions while taking the first step. Do it anyway. Just keep moving the ball five yards,” he said, “and five more yards, and five more!”
That’s all it takes.
