Like many of you I watched the 'war' in the U.S. Open between Rocco and Tiger on Sunday and some on Monday. It was great golf! Yet it was not only the golf they played but two commercials struck a chord with me as well. I loved the first commercial about Tiger and his dad. NEVER. His dad said, "Tiger, I promise you, you will never meet another person more mentally tough than you in your entire life. He hasn't and never will." Check it out HERE if you haven't seen it.
Now ask yourself, in the preparation of your life before now and even now, does your attitude include the word NEVER? Are you one who has determined and determines on a daily basis to be mentally, physically, and spiritually tough and that no matter you will NEVER quit or give up even in the most difficult of times? There are other obvious illustrations from this commercial, what did this commercial say to you or about you?
The second one was Michael Jordan and 'Maybe'. You have to see it to understand, so check it out HERE.
Life is about preparation, perseverance and it's daily. Daily wears me out. We all have those days when liitle problems pile up into crises, when our doubts begin to overwhelm our beliefs, when exhaustion hits and joy slips away. Grind. For what? Don't know what it is for you but I do for me. "If you have raced with men on foot and they have worn you out, how can you compete with horses?" Jeremiah
