Let's get PEPPY!!

I am a huge fan of pep talks.  With a few simple, encouraging, heartfelt words you can rearrange a negative situation, or mindset, into an incredible opportunity. Think about the greatest cinematic pep talks you have been privy to: 

"No one, and I mean No One comes into our house and pushes us around."

"Either we heal NOW as a team, or we will die as individuals."

"Being perfect is about being able to look your friends in the eye and know that you didn't let them down because you told them the truth. And that truth is you did everything you could. There wasn't one more thing you could've done. Can you live in that moment as best you can, with clear eyes, and love in your heart, with joy in your heart? If you can do that gentleman - you're perfect!"

"Now we came here today to remember six young men and sixty-nine others who will not be on the field with you today, but they will be watching. You can bet your ass that they'll be gritting their teeth with every snap of that football. You understand me? How you play today, from this moment on is how you will be remembered. This is your opportunity to rise from these ashes and grab glory. We are... MARSHALL"

"The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are … It will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it.  You, me or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard you hit. It ‘s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done."

But this, this is, my favorite.  And, I have posted this on my page, but we all need to watch this again, and really take to heart what he is saying.  Why?  because he is so right.  We ARE all on the same team, and we DO need to start acting like it.  We need to take the road that leads to awesome, because WHY wouldn't you?  It is OUR time, and "giving the world a reason" to dance sounds like a might fine goal.



Get better dreams, get out there, and please - make the world awesome.  "What will be your Space Jam?"
