Knaidel!!!!

I know! Say what??!! Knaidel?? What the heck is that? C'mon you know Knaidel? It's a dumpling you dummy!..LOL! Seriously..Knaidel was the word that won this 13yr old kid the National Spelling Bee. It turns out that this kid wants to be a physicist some day and im sure he's on the path to get there. As i watched this young buck belt out this word i noticed how cool and calm he was. After the competition he fielded a few questions and when asked if he was nervous he said," nahh, because i think it's good to maintain good composure." Wow! This coming from a 13yr old, who by the way had failed to hoist up a trophy in 3 previous yrs. Not only that but he's the first boy to win the Bee since 2008!..Let's hear it for the boys!!..lol!! Anyway as i was looking at this kid at the gym i couldn't help but think about how interesting and different some of our lives would be if we had kept a laser focus early on in life? The truth is, life happens! We get sidelined, sidetracked, set back and all the rest. But imagine just for a moment if what you believed you could do, you could just do? I mean no matter how long it took you'd just keep at it knowing that one day im going to crack this thing! This kid had some failures in the past with words and he said the German word curse was finally broken!..lol!. See! It doesn't matter how many times you mess up at your running routine or workout. What matters is that you keep at it despite the set backs. We all go through those seasons where everything just looks like crap! Hey! You just want to say to hell with all of this and eat a Quarter pounder with cheese,large fries and drink an icy coke! And you know what? If you do, it's still doesn't mean your quitter. It means you misspelled some stuff! But Knaidel is calling!!!! Oh yeah! See Knaidel represents your moment of truth! Where you wipe the blood from your mouth, stretch yourself one more time and use that gym membership you paid for!..Haha! oh yeah you already know! Sooo know this. Even with the best preparation we all slip and fall. But my God! You don't throw your fricken bike away because you can't ride it!..lol! No! You hop back on and fall some more and some more and some more. Until finally nobody's holding the back of your seat and your rollin baby!!..LOL! Oh yeah you got it..gohead. Just don't look back, keep pedaling!!!!!! Have a great weekend guys and gals! Knaidel is calling!! Will you accept the challenge? Maintaining good composure is good!!!!!! Sodas down! Waters up! Peace and Love!!!
