I have an insatiable need to become a better me. Frankly, it’s a burden. I am often not satisfied with where I am at most stages in my life. It’s wild. I see the glass as half-full, which sounds good on the surface but I’m often trap in a never-ending endeavor to see the glass completely full. It never stops.
I think this is why I’m always looking for clues around me. I’m always looking for people who inspire me. People who lead by example. I just informed that one of those great people that I’ve had the opportunity to learn from and be inspired by recently passed away of cancer.
I coached his granddaughter. Oh how I envied her. She is a great kid, smart, beautiful, and strong. And when I first met her grandfather I immediately knew why this young lady was so well disciplined and graceful. She is the product of a great family and the model for everything I want to become as a father, husband, and coach. He was a coach and we both shared the love of helping others live their dreams and achieve their goals.
A strong, compact man with a firm grip and a level, commanding tone. I wanted him to be my grandfather. Even more, I wanted to be just like him someday.
Men like him remind me of how much work I have to do. I am honored and blessed to strap up everyday and keep striving. Thanks coach.
