Change.  Something as humans we all have to get a grip with because in this world nothing stays the same for very long.  Yesterday I listened to a motivational speaker Rocky Bleier talk about change.  For those of you who do not know who Rocky is he was part of the Pittsburg Steelers team as their Running Back in the 70’s and he has 4 Superbowl rings.  He spoke about change over the years such as the average for an NFL player to make in the 70’s was around $60,000, now the average NFL player makes closer to $1.4 million.  Then he spoke about the average weight of a lineman in the 70’s a mere 250lbs, now closer to 350lbs.  Things are always getting bigger faster and stronger and things are always changing.  He also said that he was not the biggest or the fastest in the league by any means.  Everyone said that he was to small and that he could not cut it because of his size.  As he knows and some others know it is not about the size that matters though it is about the heart.  It is the ability to believe that you can achieve something even when others are telling you that you can not.  This is an ability that many people do not possess because they begin to believe what everyone else tells them that they cannot.  He said that if you do not take a chance on you, why would anyone else take a chance on you?  You have to believe in what you are doing you have to possess the drive to move forward when everyone else tells you no.  If you believe it is possible than make it possible by never giving up or never letting down.  Many things are possible extraordinary things happen every day to people that have this drive and commitment to themselves.  Do you possess the drive or will you be the one saying to others that you cannot do something?  Can you grow with the change and the experiences you have had in your life successes and failures alike?  These are both very valid questions that you should be asking yourself right now.
