my check list

Seems so easy right? And for the most part, it is... if you have the mind set that I do - who cares about obstacles and hurdles.... Just do it.

failing is succsesful

I love this video. Who knew that doing research on Michael Jordan would turn into a blog post? Or maybe that is expected from me...
The truth is we only look at Michael Jordan as a legend. We only watch his baskets or slam dunks. We only pay attention to his successful moments. This video proves that Michael Jordan, the shooting guard legend scoring over 32,292 points in his basketball career, looses sometimes, misses baskets sometimes, and he does make mistakes.
I embrace the moments when I make a mistake in soccer practice. I love to learn from my mistakes. I realized that I failed and have programmed into this mind of mine to not do it again. Failing is successful - you just have to learn how to like failing like me. Now lets not get carried away, sometimes, it really sucks, but hey, I failed, I move on, and I continue to live this blessed life of mine.

make yourself

I love the new Nike commercials. I love hearing about different women and their goals to become the best athletes they can. And that's the whole purpose of the name - make yourself. They are all after one goal....to make themselves better, or proud, or unbeatable, or consistent, or shine.

My favourite commercial is of Hope Solo....watch and see for yourself!

I find these commercials an inspiration to make myself the best I can be. That's why I just had to splurge on this shirt...to remind myself of these videos and the one goal I am after.
