After talking to an old friend yesterday I haven’t seen in years got me to thinking. The conversation started with the usual; How you been? How’s the family? What have you been up to? Listening to all the usual answers that seemed focused with a negative slant, I was thinking how sociality is so programmed to look for the bad. Today’s media like newspapers, television, radio.. recession, no job, no whatever … . It’s everywhere and time for needs changing!
Looking for some good in his life, and knowing how much his family meant to him, I ask about his #1 son, Scott. He immediately lit up like the Christmas tree in Rockefeller square at Christmas. My memory of Scott was always his love for sports and his unbelievable ability to recall athlete stats on demand. He would recite any player’s (even the obscure) stats on demand and always did this with such pride and the smile in doing it that was infectious! Scott followed his dream of being a sports writer. After his 4th year playing hockey for the local university, WLU, and graduating with a business degree, he spent an extra year taking a journalism course. Today he leads the Fantasy Sports News section of TSN’s web site (leading sports network here in Canada) and doing it with the same passion of that same young boy years back quoting bubble gum stats cards. Well done Scott! A great story of someone who is "living their dream" that was right in front of him. All he had to do was look and see for it.
What you look for is a matter of choice and what you look for is what you will find. The real question is; What are you looking for?
