Hello, gang! I don't know if you know this, but there is a lot of negativity in America these days. The winter can be a gloomy time every year as we see less and less of the sun. This year, in particular, seems to find us in an especially cold and snowy winter season. If that weren't enough, our nation is facing some trying times. Our economy is struggling and our government appears to have no idea what to do about it. People are losing their homes left and right and others can't afford to move as their equity has dwindled away. Baby-boomers facing retirement are watching their 401ks become 200 1/2ks and making the decision that they belong in the workforce a little longer. Many wish they had that option as layoffs increase under the weight of the slowing economy. It seems no one is
immune. So what are we to do as we face more struggles every day? How do we capture that unbridled joy that eludes us?
Just go out and win the Zod Cup!!
I think we could all agree that there are no concerns about life in this picture; merely four men experiencing the joy that one can only experience by rising to the top and capturing glory. Because what is important in life isn't found on a balance sheet or in your garage. When you look back on your life you won't care about the car you drove or whether you made more money than your highschool bully. Your life will be judged by your actions and your achievements and there may be no greater achievement than to drink from the Cup which many have worked their whole lives to achieve.
Don't sit back and worry about the little things. A wise man said, "Worry is like a rocking chair- it gives you something to do, but it doesn't get you anywhere." Go out and achieve greatness. Buy a bowling ball and dream.
