On the heels of the world cup we are reminded of a few truths. Hard work and perseverance always goes along in the pursuit of personal and team goals. We were also reminded that a good name does not always equate a great performance especially when your opponents are out to divide and conquer. There are indeed many references that can be drawn from theses 32 games that were highly contested by nations both great and small. Although the spotlight was on them from day to day it also stirred up within supporters great emotions. Being on edge when your favorite player was on the eighteen yard box with the ball at his boot was enough to cause you to leap to your feet with anticipation of a moment of greatness. For some the moments kept coming and coming and coming but for others they were lacking to the extreme. Despite all the lessons to be learned we should all remember that greatness may not always be a single moment but a series of moments linked together to culminate in a great experience. For some it may be the moment leading up to their first job (keeping my fingers crossed) or for others it may the long hours put in hopes of securing a promotion with the corner office and travelling allowance Etc.
Despite your circumstances Spain showed us that a little determination and allot of elbow grease can get you to that spot on top the mountain. So despite the fact that the climb to the top may look insurmountable, be not discouraged for the climb will be worth the effort once you get to the top.
P.S. Success is as much a destination as it is a frame of mind.
