No More Participation Awards

No More Participation Awards

If you played youth sports you received a certificate of participation.  The thing is no one cherishes participation awards.  Regardless if we want one or not we all receive participation awards for our life.  Our life has to have more meaning than a cheap certificate acknowledging that we lived.  Participating does not mean you are winning only existing.  

The truth is a lot of us are content with just participating.  Not you.  You are not content with just existing you want more out of life that is why you are reading this right now.  You don’t want to go through the motions you want to live with a sense of purpose and meaning.  Deep down you know that you possess greatness.  The thing is we all do but few pursue their greatness.  You are one of the few that will not accept participating without engaging at the highest level.  You will push yourself regardless of who is there to support you.  You will win because you don’t accept losing.  You don’t take no for an answer. 

The point is we all can be tempted to settle for less than who we are.  But we know what settling get us. A certificate of participation is something you receive no matter if you win or lose.  You receive a birth certificate when you are born and a death certificate when you die.  What happens in between is your choice.  You write your life’s story through your choices and actions.  Don’t settle for just existing, your life has meaning.  Find out what you were born to do and don’t waste time, do it now.  When you do your life with be filled with rewarding experiences that will leave a story to tell the generations to come.
