New York Giants Win!

I have a confession.

I know football, but I did not think that they had a chance…in fact I did not think they had a snowball’s chance in hell of winning.

But, as my friend Richelle Shaw reminded me…’That’s why they play the game!’

Richelle is a fabulously successful business lady who has become a millionaire in spite of several obstacles. She recently sent me an email that I wanted to share with everyone because it shares a powerful lesson and a powerful question at the end. Only you can answer the question….

Here’s Richelle’s message:

“When thinking about business – I realize that there was no
reason that I should be at all successful.  I am a female,
African American, reasonably young now¦  and self professed,
chubby¦  With 4 strikes, how in the world did I accomplish all
that I did and do?People ask me all the time, with all of the challenges in life,
you lost everything, filed bankruptcy and still came back?
What would you say the difference is?And I would say –Others perception of me is just that, their
perception. 

No matter what, I believe in myself and my
abilities.  Failure was an expensive lesson but it did not keep
me from my ultimate goals.  I heard that No does not mean
denial but only delay.  So I realized that this just might not
be the time.  But if I keep trying, it will never be the time.
thats why they play the game.Look at the NY Giants, gross underdogs to not even be in the
SuperBowl. 

The New England Patriots came into the game
undefeated 18 – 0 and destined everyone believed to be the next
SuperBowl Champions¦however, someone forgot to tell the New
York Giants.    They are the first wild card team from the NFC
to win the SuperBowl.  Eli Manning has been called Peyton more
times than he chooses¦  Michael Stahan had decided to retire
and then returned.  Their best running back Tiki Barber gave up
on them last year, announced his retirement in the middle of
the season.  Nobody gave them any credit or any hope coming
into the season.  The press of NY asked for Tom Coughlin the
head coachs head, get rid of him¦.Even Tiki now as a
commentator for NBC, made numerous jokes about his former
teams ability to get to the SuperBowl, Eli Mannings inability
to control the offense and believe it or not – here it is .
The New York Giants are SuperBowl 42 Champions!

So when you get down, Dont feel like you can go another day¦.

Remember – thats why they play the game.

Are you in the GAME?”
