Ever have anyone tell you can’t do something?

I stopped for a second while watching this video and thought am I doing everything right now to bring my goals closer or farther away; then I began to type. Don’t let people steal your dreams.

Getting a lift home from my coach after wrestling practice he was telling me I should look into wrestling in college. I said, “I want to play college football.” He about choked and said, “No way you are going to do that, you’re too small.”

At that time I was 152lbs and 5’10 and his comment stayed with me. What he didn’t realize was I had a burning white hot desire to play college football and nobody was stealing my dream.

If you want something it’s up to you to get it. Tune out the noise because that’s all it is. Take your eyes off the goal even for a second & you miss the opportunity that you worked so hard for. Opportunities come to those who earn them; they are not given or handed out. Have laser like focus and watch what happens; people will come out of their houses as you run down the street just to watch you burn!

I went onto burn for four years in college three of which I played starting middle linebacker at 6’0 235lbs starting in front of crowds of 80,000 screaming fans, on national TV and against top 25 teams. I only tell you this because you too have dreams and aspirations to achieve.

About 10 years later I was having lunch with him & I asked him if he remembered that conversation; he didn’t but, I did.  I told him how I remembered all those years our conversation and it was added fuel to achieve my dreams.

Take action, get uncomfortable, and make a difference in someone’s life today that no matter what they could never repay you.

Become a Top 3% Leader in life

Your Top 3% Leader,
