Everyone has to make their own decisions regarding life. Some people have special skills which allow them to overcome adversity and turn these situations into positive experiences for all involved. This is the essential meaning of life. 5 years ago I was diagnosed with a life threatening cancer and given a 6 month life expectancy. I chose not to accept those parameters and assumed the attitude that I would survive at whatever the cost was in terms of treatment and mental fortitude. I gave up the mental burden of being judgemental and vowed to assume a positive mental attitude in all of the aspects of my life. I am thankful to be alive to enjoy the great things that life has to offer, including officiating those Sat. morning Youth football games!
Ralph Waldo Emerson once said:
"What lies behind us? And what lies before us,
are tiny matters,
Compared to what lies within us."
Peace,
