I have the pleasure of speaking to heaps of people every day – some want a job, some want hope, some want security, some want big hairy dreams. For the most part, they are all really crazy cool human beings living the best life they can, with what they’ve got, where they are.
This morning’s conversation was especially cool.
I asked (one of my favorites): What are you most passionate about in life?
Her response: “Creating a life I love. Every morning I wake up and chose to love my life. I kinda see it like a soccer game – I’m playing forward, I can see the net, I’m in the right corner – I can shoot a goal every day. If I miss, I know to get up and get right back in the game. Back to my corner, where I can see the net. I chose to be there.
I used to think that when I missed a shot, I had to go back to doing more crunches, more drills, more crunches and then get ready to be back in the corner.
Now, I just play the game. Every day. I show up ready to score a goal. And the coolest part – is I think I’m scoring more goals in life!”
TRUTH BOMB!…dedicated to JoJo + lil’Appleton, my two favorite soccer/football playah’s!
I heart that
