I loved this quote by Brad Keselowski after winning the 2012 Nascar Sprint Cup Championship:

“I saw this really cool video that Ray Lewis did and he said, ‘Throughout my whole life I’ve been told that I’m not big enough, I’m not fast enough, I’m not strong enough and I don’t have what it takes,’ ” Keselowski said after getting out of his car. “I’ve used that as a chip on my shoulder that’s carried me through my whole career. It took ’til this year for me to realize, they’re right. I’m not big enough, fast enough, strong enough. No person is. Only a team can do that. And these guys up here [pointing to his team], they make me big enough, fast enough, strong enough to do anything we want to do.”

Without my team, I’m never big enough, fast enough, strong enough. This Thanksgiving, take time to thank those who are on your team!
