Celebrate Achievement…dang!
Colt McCoy, winningest quarterback in college football history!!!
Being an Austinite, with two football infatuated kids, I am in love with the Texas Longhorns and this amazing season. They have come together and with the GREAT leadership of Colt McCoy, have an opportunity to become the national champions, and I know they will.
We as people need to celebrate ourselves and others accomplishements more, and be proud of people like Colt for doing great things and inspiring us. I was at Starbucks this morning and I pull out the paper and there on the front page it is talking about Colt and his 43rd victory last night against the Kansas Jayhawks (I was there with my 7 and 9 year old boys, it was a magical night). A gentlemen walks up to me and I say, “What an awesome accomplishment.” And he says, “Well how long has he been there? Like 4 years right? I mean he should have that many victories.” Wow, give me a break dude. This is a perfect example of someone not giving credit and looking at the bright side of something. I mean lord help me, I walked away from there just thinking, man we as people need to celebrate our accomplishements and be more encouraging when people do great things.
Celebrate your achievements, be proud of others and let them know, encourage people, look for great things in life and focus on how cool it is when someone does something awesome!
Congrats Colt, you are an inspiration!
