Mental Work…

Bringing clarity to an overwhelmed mind in business and in life…

All I wanted to do was make it to college as an athlete and student. But somewhere in all the mix of college visits and making highlight films thinking was never involved. It was easy to put in the work to get recruited because up to a certain point it was all fun work and games. But as I took my high school athletic career into the next level I was reminded very fast that I was just a dude not thinking. I got burned so bad by this wide receiver recruited from Canada and at that moment I realized that I have to use my brain. I just gave that dude my best and it was mediocre at best and I was beat by a full step. That wasn’t going to cut it at all expect on the practice squad. As much as I enjoyed my short college career I am glad to say that I made it as far as my mental would allow me to go.

My Freshman year in college was a moment in life that I look back on and love it because I got to live out some great moments. I was able to see and experience accomplishing something that I set my eyes on accomplishing, while also realizing now that I entered life with the wrong mind set. As much as it is fun to look back at those moments in life its also fun to realize that even when I thought I was It, I was nowhere close to where God, My Yah, could take me. I was putting a limit on myself and not once called upon God to help me. I took it upon myself to see my way through college football and could only go so far, and I went as far as I thought I could go. Not once did I ask God, "how far could We go?"

I am thankful for my short athletic college career as it gives me a glimpse of how far I could go. I am thankful for my short athletic college career as it gives me a chance to go farther than I have ever taken myself before.
