On the day after the College Football National Championship, I sit here reflecting on Joe Burrow and the LSU Tiger’s amazing season. A record setting season many say is the greatest season by any quarterback and team in college history. Whether you agree with that statement or not, one cannot deny this incredible run by Joe Burrow and the 15-0 National Champs.
Joe Burrow, who was a 2 star recruit out of high school,(2 star is not very good by the way) committed to Ohio State and proceeded to sit the bench as a back-up QB for 3 years. Honestly, as a die hard Ohio State fan, I didn’t even know he was on the roster! Nobody knew who he was! Joe Burrow was just a no-name player who should’ve graduated from college, took a career, and lived a normal life. That was going to be his story. And then it all changed…
You see, Joe Burrow believed he was meant to do more! He believed that he was better than the opportunities he had been given! Somewhere deep down inside, he refused to believe the story that many have written about him. He realized that his story cannot and should not be written by everyone else! He and him alone, Joe Burrow, was responsible for writing his own story! No matter what all the voices were saying, he recognized that it was not their story to write! No amount of money in the world could ever buy the power of belief that Joe Burrow possesses. He overcame the odds, the statistics, the naysayers, all of it! He took ownership of his own story!
There is tremendous power in belief! It’s invaluable! How great could we be if we did what Joe Burrow did? We take ownership for our own destiny, our own story, and instead of letting everyone else write our story, we write it ourselves! All greatness is born from diversity! It’s important that we never give up! Even when we look up and all we see is defeat, we must remember the journey is not over! I have what it takes to write my own story! To write the greatest story anyone has ever seen! Belief changes everything! It changes your perspective, it changes your habits, it changes your thoughts, your actions, it changes your life!
May we all posses this kind of belief and live the best life we were meant to live!
