Good morning, afternoon, evening all my fine feathered friends (yes, I like that expression). I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I spent most of my weekend watching football. My cousin and I developed this “texting war” when the games come on. He’s in South Carolina so instead of calling each other after every play, we text things like “In da Face!” and “Boo-yah!” and “Wait for it…” lol. Last week I got him good when the Cardinals beat the Packers and he got me when the Saints got the Cards this past weekend.

I have to say, one of the best if not unexpected games of the weekend was the Jets vs the Chargers. I know some of you may not be football fans, but those of you that are, most of you were shocked by the outcome I’m sure…unless you were the Jets or their coach.

This man, the Jets head coach told everyone that they should be the favorite going into the playoffs to win the whole thing. Do you know how many people laughed at him. Do you know how many analysts called him crazy and out of his mind? Do you know how many so called experts said they would be out of the playoffs in the first game they played?

I mean after all, they only made the playoffs because one of the elite teams let them win at the end of the season and so they squeaked into the playoffs on what many called a technicality. So, since you’re not supposed to be there go ahead and lose so we can be right and get on the air and tell everyone how right we were about how deserving you were “not” of being there. Anybody see where I’m going with this?

The coach believed that his team could win it all. He didn’t keep it to himself. He let his team know, “We will win it all.” He is said to have made a schedule for his team all the way up to their Super Bowl parade. What? How dare you have the audacity, little rookie coach with the inexperienced rookie quarterback to even think you have a chance at the crown. You will be one and done, don’t you know that?

The coach did not buy into that. Even though EVERYBODY was telling him how unworthy he and his team was, he did NOT but into that. He got himself to believe, he got his team to believe. Lo and behold, they are in the championship game.

At this point, it does not actually matter if they even go to the Super Bowl. They have already exceeded expectations. They have already won, and so can you.

This is week three of 2010 and this is right about the time where people start to forget about their resolutions. Life keeps happening and they are just taking things as they come. They never wrote down their resolutions. Some may have written them down but they don’t look at them everyday so “out of sight, out of mind.” The media is quick to tell you how many people never follow through on their resolutions. I implore you, don’t let that be you.

If you have not written down your goals, WRITE THEM DOWN. If you have written them down but have not looked at them in a while, LOOK AT THEM. If you have not acted on what you set out to do because life got in the way, PRIORITIZE YOUR GOALS. UKANduit! If someone has done, so can you. It’s just a matter of imaginary time. Live each day as if you are already in possession of that which you desire. Feel the emotion each day as you would if you were the person with the things, characteristics and attributes you SEE yourself as. One day at a time, one bite at a time. I believe in you, now it’s your turn to believe in yourself, against all odds, all obstacles and naysayers. UKANduit!

OK, I guess this was more like a Tankism so I will post the saying tomorrow of one of my favorite authors. Take care and I hope you have a wonderful week of accomplishment. 🙂
