(6 mins) ... Because I have young boys, I had them listen more to the words then watch it because there is a female who is exercising in part of it, as this video talks about motivations for athletes. That's just how I roll :)
How many times have I sat at my desk, or rested on my pillow, or stared out the window while driving thinking..."if only..."? Or, "I wish I..."?
Many times I have looked back at the week I had or the day I had and said, "I could have done more." Not to be self-deprecating, nor to try to keep up with someone else. But, honestly to challenge myself to rise higher. To tell myself that you have untold potential because you are a child of God and you WERE NOT CREATED TO BE MEDIOCRE. You were created to be EXTRAORDINARY! So, the challenge then, is to be extraordinary every day. In small ways. In big ways. In new ways. In ways that uplift others. In ways that build relationships. In ways that are so meaningful that I cannot help but be changed by it.
This is my success. If these are my DAILY goals, then I cannot help but be successful. Successful in all the ways that are important (love, family, heatlh, service) and in all the ways that are necessary (provide for my family and give to others). So, the time for wishing and lamenting is over. The time for doing is now. Whatever it is, I must do it!
Exercise.
Travel.
Speak.
Write.
Love.
Remember...
"Don't ever let anyone tell you, you can't do something..."
"Anything is possible!"
"When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe,
then you'll be successful."
Look Up.
Get Up.Don't Ever Give Up.
"Success has always been INTENTIONAL and DELIBERATE"
Amen! Amen! ...and AMEN!! Thank you for your message! I am officially motivated. I had never seen that video before- you know I LOVED it!! I actually got to know Michael Irvin well when I worked in Dallas in sports news, and I watched him take special time aside to talk with the inner city kids often. I also had the opportunity to meet and talk with Chris Gardner from the Pursuit of Happiness, but I feel especially honored to have met YOU through these blogs. I feel such a deep connection with you. Thank you for your support, your motivation, and for your example!! God bless you!
ReplyDeleteWe were a bit discouraged today, so our family all watched your video again. I also read your post again. Thanks again for your message. :-) We're renewed!!
