Dreamy UnDErdog


I am a slacker..but I will post soon..mos def.

Wouldn't it be cool to be the underdog that makes the topdog look like the underdog (i.e. 8th seed Golden State Warriors are about to upset 1st seed Dallas Mavericks). There is a just something within us that celebrates and is ebulliant whenever we hear of a successful underdog story.

So while underdog stories are the feel-good happenings of big sporting events like the Olympics, imagine how amazing to the human spirit an underdog story on a larger scale is. For example, what if all our lives instead of performing below our potential and consistently choosing the lower paths and easy way outs we were to one day make all the right choices, choose to go against our fears and not only perform to our potential but find that we can be far more than we ever imagined ourselves capable of. Wouldn't that be the best underdog story EVER? Wouldn't that just make all the crap in your life a hundred times over more than worth it??

Perhaps an amazing ending can transform a lackluster story into a classic tale.

Sometimes, I feel like we all get stuck in inertia and we are waiting for someone or something to pull us out...something dramatic and epic to come sweep us out of the dirt. However, there exists no lucky lottery ticket to change all our fortunes save for the mundane, boring but germane task of choosing the right choices in the small things consistently. Only after we start to make the right choices that seem to make little difference in the short run do we see a large impact begin to illuminate itself in the long run.

Dreams....dreams are CRAZY. Dreams are essential.
