That One Moment

Welcome everyone...Rafael Nadal, "the difference between winning and losing is mental toughness. I don't think I forgot how to play tennis after a loss." We need to stay in the moment. SELF-CONTROL...ability to control your emotions and behaviors to push forward...when it hurts. Makes you train/practice. Helps you overcome the temptation of slacking off or just going through the motions. PERSISTENCE...ability to stay focused despite obstacles. Bridges the gap between a goal and achievement. Credit to Jeremy Schaap, ESPN for the following. Jonathon Pitre, Canada. Teenager born with EB, Epidersmolysis Bullosa. Always wanted to be a hockey player. His skin keeps falling off. Every other day his mother bathes him...takes 3 hours. Then he must be re taped. "I only have a life span of 25 years. I've already lived over half my life. Think of what you have. Every day is a battle. Ever day a battle won." Excerpt from his speech. A must see and read. What will you complain about today? Have a meaningful life. Jimmy O
