The 2009 Indoor Track and Field World Championships  just finished. If you  witnessed Jamaica’s Usain Bolt completely destroy the 100m and 200m Men’s sprinting world records you were fortunate. Hopefully you noticed Just before the start of each race Bolt had a smile on his face and an ease in his manner. Everyone else in the field seemed to be loaded up with mental junk: all stressed out, uncertain… The commentators were suggesting that Bolt was the favorite to win the 100 and 200 but,  they did not expect him to break his own world records. But, it was that smile and ease on Bolt’s face that suggested something else. Something that Bolt understood and many do not get. And that is this…In life there are those who live in expectation to accomplish greatness in whatever they choose to do. They will astonish and amaze us…build hope for all of us to be better than we now are…and prove that greatness in humanity is held by only one ideal… The ideal that in life there are no limits yet known for mankind.  

Hey, we are all living in a gift called life.

While we’re here we may as well  expect to do great things.

Mediocrity is not what is intended for any of us.

BE GREAT!

“RIPP IT UP!”

Peace-

Matt
