Last night we had our team recognition dinner for those who
qualified state championships. It's
always one of my most favorite events of the year. It takes a lot for these kids to achieve the
times and scores necessary to be a part of the festivities. One of my athletes snap chatted the following
picture:
I would gladly buy as many meals as needed for these
athletes to put in such incredible effort.
For all of the time that they have toiled… getting yelled at, pushed
harder than they ever have been before, losing sleep, living tired days…
My question is: what is the payoff for which you are
striving? Like these young athletes,
each of us needs something bigger than us.
Latch onto something that brings you joy, and run for it with everything
you've got. And one day, someone just
might buy you a free meal… Purchased only by your blood, sweat, and tears.
