You’ve forgotten how long you’ve waited. But now is
the time.
For
years you’ve done the work and paid your dues but the end result has been the
same. But today is different.
The
breaks haven’t gone your way and the fates have seemed to be against you.
Sometimes,
at the end of a season, you’ve stared at the past year and wondered why. Why
and how and what? What are you going to do? Which direction are you going to
go?
But
today is different.
The
future has arrived, and you finally know your place.
The
hard work and the talent and the persistence are finally going to pay off. Yes,
you’ve gotten some nice breaks. Some sweet deals that have allowed fortuitous
things to happen. But you’ve also found hidden gems. Little projects that have
big payoffs. Things that change the game plan and the team and the whole arc of
your future.
Yeah,
now is the time.
Regardless
of what happens in the next few weeks, you have a bright future to look forward
to. The home run has already happened. And today it’s been sealed with a kiss.
Your
takeaway is this: never let go.
Never
let go of the dream and the fight and the goal and the dream.
Because
sometimes football can mirror life and vice versa
Work
hard. Have faith. And don’t ever, ever stop.
