Welcome back, Graceland Ontarians!
Check out this
video:
This video was sent
to me this morning, it was posted yesterday and now I’m paying it forward.
With all the hype about the upcoming Super Bowl, for some of you this may be a timely post.
Coach John Harbaugh of the Baltimore Ravens received
an email from a fan the other day entitled “A Reason to Win”. Inside, he read about Mathew
Jeffers − a senior acting major at Townsend State University and Ravens supporter.
Mathew, at 21, is 4’2”, has enduring over
twenty surgeries and has a mother with a stage four brain tumour. He realizes life
isn’t fair.
But despite all the pain he’s gone through,
he also realizes that life doesn’t care how sorry you feel about yourself. It
only responds to a positive attitude, to pushing forward even when you feel you’ve
had enough, even when you’ve lost your last couple games −
even when your mother’s dieing.
His message: The Only Disability in Life is a Bad Attitude.
Instead of the Ravens focusing on how bad things have gone, he encourages them to look on the bright side, like him, and keep pushing to win.
I don’t know what you’re going through, I
don’t know the pain you’ve suffered, I can’t understand where you are in your
life but one thing’s for sure − Mathew’s advice is good. It is solid. And you’d
be wise to take it.
Good luck to the Ravens, good fortune to
Mathew Jeffers and his message and good will to you… keep thinking positive.
See you next week!
