Have you ever done something that seemed like a tiresome task at one point and then when you revisited that something at another time you were able to see it with a new sense of freshness and excitement?
I felt that very thing this past week. I spent last week in Annapolis Maryland at the Naval Academy (my soon to be new home) and worked soccer camp in 100 degree heat for five days. Ive always seen camp as a fun time to see friends, make some quick money, coach, and be outside. At the same time, I always left camp worn down, tired, and beat up from long days and little sleep. Not this time.
This time was different. I arrived at camp on 3 hours of sleep and a 10 hour work day the day before and left camp energized, excited, and renewed. Maybe it was because I was able to spend a week with some of my best friends. Maybe it was because I had a chance to make an impact on kids lives. Or maybe, just maybe it was because I was doing something that I love.
Moral of the story. Do what you love and love what you do and you wont regret it. Find your passion.
Ill leave you with these words from the late great coach wooden...
"You can't live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you."
John Wooden
