365 Snap Shots of Life Blog Challenge: Day 78

· Leave a comment ·

Happy Sunday everyone! This is a picture I took when I visited  Rodeo Drive for the first time back in January. It’s funny how Hollywood can make something out of nothing. In reality Rodeo Drive is just another street on the map of the world. I took this shot to prove my point. If I hadn’t told you where this is, you would have thought, so what? This is just another street scene God only knows where. I left out anything that might give the street away on purpose to prove my point. Riding down Rodeo Drive with my whole family in tow in our SUV, along with other tourist who were doing the same thing, made this just another address.

We all need positive words everyday.

“If you’re trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I’ve had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.” (Michael Jordan)

This man led his team to numerous NBA championships.

This man, when breaking into professional baseball–his second sport–arrived earlier and stayed later than anyone else.

This man would not dream of blowing off a team workout with the pathetic excuse “it’s just practice.”

This man wrote a book entitled I Can’t Accept Not Trying (fittingly subtitled Michael Jordan On The Pursuit of Excellence).

There’s a reason why the Michael Jordans of this world are so rare.  Will you take the challenge and lead your team–whatever your team is–to a much higher place with your excellence and toil?
