We've all been there before. You know, the times in our lives where it seems like we can't seem to see the light at the end of the tunnel, and we have to ask ourselves the all important question: "Should I just quit?".
Today, I watched in disbelief as my Chicago Bears went down in flames because their quarterback decided to "ride the pine" rather than finish strong. This presented a very unique opportunity for two other quarterbacks on the Bears, and it ended up that the 3rd string QB (Hanie) decided to play hard and try and lead a team from a 14-0 deficit to a win in the 4th quarter. He did a fantastic job under tremendous pressure and stress.
I never want to be in the position of quitting. It is against everything that I believe in. You see, when someone quits, that means an opportunity presents itself to someone else. I give Hanie major kudos for trying. He had that feeling deep down that he could do it; he could lead them to victory. That's the kind of attitude that we need to have on a daily basis. You know the one. The one that says, "I can do this, I can push myself past the limits of what I think I can do." It's not easy, believe me, and I fail miserably so many times, but I do want to be the guy who tries.
In my favorite book - The Bible - Paul says in Philippians 3:12-14:
"Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."
Never give up.....................Keep pressing on!
