\"\"The name Albert Haynesworth strikes a familiar chord for those of us who live in Nashville and love rooting for the Tennessee Titans.\u00a0 Albert was a standout on our team in his performance both on the field and off.\u00a0\u00a0 Known for his bursts of anger, Albert seems to be a troubled young man.<\/p>\n

A year ago Albert left the Titans to join the Washington Redskins, where he would be paid over $100 million for his services. His year by all estimations was spotty at best.\u00a0 His behavior: borderline.<\/p>\n

Now we see in the news that Albert is at odds with his new team and he\u2019s gaining the reputation as someone who can\u2019t be relied upon.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve heard people say, \u201cIf I got paid that much money, I\u2019d show up and do what I\u2019m told.\u201d\u00a0 But the truth is, if you\u2019re wounded inside, or if there\u2019s something broken, something that drives you to misbehave, to self-destruct, money won\u2019t fix it. <\/strong> It will only make it worse.<\/p>\n

Money is an enabler, and it empowers.\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t create what\u2019s on the inside, it only allows it to come out and be demonstrated more publicly.<\/p>\n

So instead of praying, and asking, and seeking, and killing yourself for more money because you think that\u2019s your real problem, work on the thing you can.\u00a0 And that\u2019s you: your character, your integrity, your generosity, your enthusiasm, your ability to envision a new future, your ability to exercise your God-given uniqueness to create whatever you want.<\/p>\n

We live in a great nation that can give you everything but fill up the whole that\u2019s in your heart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
