Rocking the world with a great attitude at age 98 should be packaged and sold.
So, whatever is working for Sister Jean, I want it! Don’t you?
The chaplain of the 2018 Loyola Ramblers rocked the world with three big ideas about winning attitudes.
Attitude #1 Forget about conditions. Focus on choices.
The elephant in the room with Sister Jean’s winning ideas is her suffering.
She spent much of the basketball season recovering from hip surgery.
Two pins and a titanium rod were planted in her leg last November.
When asked about her recovery she said . . .
“You have to be gutsy.” SJ
Here she is making worldwide news offering advice, encouragement and ideas from a wheel chair!
“It all depends on how hard you work for it. We have a little slogan that we say, ‘worship, work and win!'” SJ
Every day our suffering nun decides to worship, work and win.
Just look at the way she handles adversity.
Attitude #2 Forget about obstacles. Focus on bonds.
After surgery, the hospital didn’t have the station for the Rambler games.
So, she followed play by play on a web site.
Then, she prerecorded her prayer to be played at Loyola’s games.
When the Ramblers whipped Drake 72-57, she sent an email to Forward Donte Ingram . . .
“Donte, keep getting those rebounds; that action helps to add more points to the game.” SJ
And then she had these thoughts for guard Clayton Custer . . .
“They were certainly out to get you. However, your fantastic plays outwitted them and made them nervous. Keep up your great work and don’t get injured.”
And then at a Final Four press conference in San Antonio . . .
“These young players are playing for their hearts, and not for any financial assistance.” SJ
Attitude #3 Focus on good work
Sister Jean is wealthy in good works. That’s why she has a wealthy life.
- Worship . . . faith
- Work . . . habit
- Win . . . attitude
