Game day is here, aka the Super Bowl, and pretty much everyone
I know is gearing up for some kind of Super Bowl party, big or small. If for no other reason, the Super Bowl is a
good reason to make plans for a party, eat all kinds of junk food and hang out
with family or friends.
For me, the Super Bowl is a grand ordeal this year only
because our Seahawks are in it and will hopefully take on the title of Super
Bowl champs, therefore clamping shut the traps of all the nay-sayers who just
can’t imagine the Seahawks as Super Bowl champions. This is a dream the Seahawks and every
Seahawk fan has had for quite some time…and now the day is finally here when
they are about to take part in that dream.
That’s the thing with dreams…you have to focus, believe in
yourself and continue to work hard for what you believe you can achieve. You do this regardless of what others say
about you or what they believe you can or cannot accomplish. You have to give your dreams wings and let
them fly because if you listen to the nay-sayers, those wings will never form
and you will never experience the possibilities available to you.
“In response to those who say to stop dreaming and face
reality, I say keep dreaming and make reality.” ~Kristian Kan~
Will the Seahawks win the Super Bowl? I certainly hope so. It sucks to lose, especially on such a grand
scale with millions of people watching.
But if they don’t, they will have experienced what every other single
team had hoped to achieve…the chance to be the best, prove they earned their
spot at the head of the line and show everyone else what they’re made of.
The dream to achieve something spectacular can completely
change your life, whether it’s during the journey to get there and even after
your dream comes true. Even if you don’t
achieve the full dream right away or the first time, the hard work it takes to
get where you are will help you as you continue on your journey to fulfill your
dreams. If you want it bad enough, you
will listen to what your heart desires rather than to what others say you’re
capable of. You just have to continue to
believe in yourself and remain stubborn as you focus on your dreams to prove
them wrong.
“If we all did the things we are capable of doing, we would
literally astound ourselves.”
~Thomas Alva Edison~
So no matter the dream, whether it’s big or small, give it
the attention, focus and dedication it deserves based on what you believe you
can achieve. Never let the nay-sayers
take your focus away from the possibilities and always remember this:
“Don't live down to expectations. Go out there and do
something remarkable.”
~Wendy Wasserstein~
