Today I was thinking about those people who actually make it in life. I mean we all have talents but rarely make the moves to attain our dreams. I know plenty of smart people, great basketball players and those with killer business ideals. The one thing they all have in common is that don't believe in themselves enough to make the effort of getting it done.
Sure the odds tell us that its a long shot to be the next big thing, but as long as you have a shot- the you have a chance. And my grandmother always told me- "don't nothing beat chance but a try". What would have happen if Joe Jackson didn't believe in the Jackson 5? What if Micheal Jordan didn't think he could compete at the next level, but if you never tried to follow your dream? This list could go on for days but I just want to give respect to those who did what needed to be done! Ya know the average people and the not so average. The woman who got that college degree after she was a single parent of 3 kids, the man who got the woman every 1 thought was out of his league, the kid who recited that long speech perfectly, to ex-felons who despite paying ur dues, keep on keeping on and of course the meek people of he world!
I know that everyone has a story to tell, but just don't make it happen-go figure. How many times have I heard, man I could have done that, or that was my ideal! Nike said it best......JUST DO IT......I wasn't trying to start nothing- I was just thinking....
I am Ward....
