Big television today... first was the under-estimated, often laughed at, New York Jets stun everyone by shutting down the offensive power house, San Diego Chargers and then it was time to go from tom boy to girly girl and tune into the Golden Globes.
Here's the thing with the Jets. They are supposed to suck. They have long been considered a joke. I'm used to chants of, "same old Jets" and "Just End The Season." Jets fans haven't seen a Superbowl appearance/win since 1969 -- it's been battered and bruised season after season and we are used to uphill battles. And this year was no different. They have a rookie coach, a rookie quarter back and a whole host of rookie defense men. They needed a miracle to make it to the play offs... and somehow they did it. And I think I know how. On paper, they are never the best team but they don't know that. They believe. Their coach believes. Coach Rex Ryan tells them every week that this is their destiny. They go out on that field, fearlessly and they know and believe in what they want. No one can tell them they aren't as good as there opponent. Week after week, teams have underestimated them, announcers have said it's impossible, and week after week - the Jets have gotten "lucky" enough to win. Luck. That's what so many say because they just cannot fathom this little Jets team that keeps winning. But I think it's their power in believing. That power is undeniable. I hope to learn something from them.
And the Golden Globes. The glamour, the humor, enough star power to rival the milky way! To be in a position to proudly be acknowledged for your creative contribution... I can't think of a bigger thrill! And I want that day for me!!
I'm glad we're reading this book and am anxiously looking forward to applying Principles that will assist me to find that inner belief, that undeniable confidence that I can stand toe to toe with the biggest linebackers in hollywood and somehow still find a way to stun them all and come out "lucky" enough to be wielding a Golden Globe of my own.
