A Great Day for the USA

Watching the Olympics reinforces everything I believe about hard work, desire and never taking NO for an answer.  Even if you give something 200% effort, you may not come out a winner, but you will never, ever be a loser!  For those that do come out with the gold, it is never, ever luck.  Mr. Phelps, you are now stand in a league all your own.  (Guess the bong hits we saw you taking, back in college didn’t hurt at all…just saying).

I found this quote this morning and though it’s a bit crude coming from me, I love it.  If I had just a penny (forget a nickel) for every excuse I have heard,  I would never have to work again….But still I probably would 🙂

“The only thing standing between you and your goal is the bullshit story you keep telling yourself as to why you can’t achieve it.”
