The Declaration of Truth.

I can't out-willpower a morning. I say what's true before I feel it. Thirty-six lines about God and about me, out loud, every morning — before the phone, before the kids, before the ball. Then the three nights that get me out of bed to say them.

ThenThe three nights.Build the ladder. The ten-minute shutdown. Say it out loud to one man. The nights that got me out of bed to say the words.
Your turnAdd your own line.Under mine, write one that's true about God and one that's true about you. Say both tomorrow.

Get the declaration.

Plus one short note from me each morning for two weeks. One tap at the bottom and you're out.

At 34 I looked in the mirror and didn't like the dad looking back. Forty pounds heavier. Six years sick. Comfortable, and small.

What changed it wasn't a plan. I started saying what's true about God, and about me, every single morning. Out loud. Before I felt it. Until I believed it. And I won the night before so I'd be up to say it.

Three years later I played for Team USA at a World Cup in Germany. It's not too late.
