I wanna be like Mike! Really?

Michael Jordan.

Perhaps he would be the first  name that would come to many of you if asked to name a famous baller.

Well, if you didn't know, he was not always a winner! He failed many times in his life. However he became the greatest basket ball player because he never accepted not to be the best!

OK, its only basketball. Maybe you do not even like basketball....(What??!) But this is the spirit we should have!

Revolt is a very sincere action that leads a person from zero to great.
Do you think it was easy for Michael Jordan to fail all those times? To lose all those game for his team and fans and admit it?

Many times we are not sincere with ourselves. We want everything to be OK so much, that we do not like to admit that maybe somewhere in our own lives we are failing.
Failing as a student, failing as a mother, failing in our careers or families,  even in our spiritual lives. This in denial is not good for us!

When Michael Jordan was failing, he practiced like no other, he was intelligent and knew he would only get better when he took action. He did not blame his upbringing, his past, his team for the situation he was in. He looked at himself sincerely and saw he just was not good enough (ouch).
A person can only take actions to change their life when they look around and honestly see a need to change, a need to revolt.

 Even Gideon felt like a failure,  I am sure. Until one day, in that wine press, he was like "What on earth am I doing here, hiding?!"

You see the problem has never been about failing, only accepting to fail!

Check out this video link below and look at the sincerity of Michael.

Be sincere, you need to revolt, and so do I!

  1. Sooo true! The harsh truth is that at some point in life we WILL all fail, but it's the admission of failure and then the revolt and action AGAINST it that leads to GREAT successes!

  2. Very true. When we're revolted we become capable of anything! And the only way to become revolted is to see the true condition of our life and be fed up... Xxx
