"Inspiration"

During one of our many Penn State tailgating moments, I was able to stop time and capture this portrait for a lifetime. Not only was this an incredible air-jump catch (yes, that's right, he caught it!), this image says so much to me.

I actually found myself asking "what if he thought he would not have been able to catch the ball? What if he didn't take the chance?" I realized at that moment, he might have never known it was possible. He would have ultimatley failed himself for not trying.

I view this image as an inspiration to take chances. Don't let the thought of failure be our own personal failure. By trying, we are half-way to success, but by not trying at all, we have already failed. Scary thought isn't it.

I actually came across this quote that pretty much sums my thought up: "Nothing important was ever achieved without someone taking a chance." ~ H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

By the way...that is Matt, my trainer and sole provider of my pain!

Remember this: "Believe all things are possible" ~Mark 9:23
