I'll try not to get into the negativity that surrounds all of the deep-seeded rivalries in college football but I am a fan of college football, and Alabama in particular. While I am sure others will disagree, there are few rivalries better than Alabama vs Auburn. Throughout this rivalry, there have been big finishes - BIG!
Last year, Alabama tried a last second field goal, which came up short and Auburn returned for a game winning 109 yard touchdown. This year, at halftime, it appeared that Auburn had Alabama on the ropes but Alabama proved resilient and came back to score five touchdowns in a row and won an amazing shootout. You have to play to the end...
Today's word is a quote from Napoleon Hill, which says, "Victory is always possible for the person who refuses to stop fighting."
Victory isn't always easy. As in football, there will be times when things seem to come easy and everything is rosy, then, there will be those times when anything that could go wrong does and you can't win for losing. For the most part, though, we often lose because we give up. Once you give up, it's over.
Whether in sports, in UNO, in a friendly game of horseshoes, or in life, victory is possible if you refuse to stop fighting. You may still come out on the short end of the scoreboard but you will be a victor for refusing to quit.
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
