The one good thing that came from College life is that he met his future wife.

Maybe that’s why most folks go to College anyway. To find their life mate.

He even watched the 1976, 1980, 1984, 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004 and 2008 Summer Olympics.

And more importantly, what are we (you) going to do about it?

I started a commitment Sunday night and will challenge you tomorrow to do something similar.

You know what? I assumed everyone got this, until a recent revelation. So here’s my definition of an impossible goal. An impossible goal isn’t something no one has ever done before.

An impossible goal is something you’ve never done before.

Big difference. Maybe you’ve never walked a 5k before. Maybe that’s your impossible goal.
