Circle of Trust
“It’s so important to know where you are. I know where I am right now. How do you go from where you are to where you want to be? I think you have to have an enthusiasm for life. You have to have a dream, a goal. You have to be willing to work for it. I just got one last thing, I urge all of you, all of you, to enjoy your life, the precious moments you have. To spend each day with some laughter and some thought, to get your emotions going. To be enthusiastic every day and as Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Nothing great could be accomplished without enthusiasm,” to keep your dreams alive in spite of problems whatever you have. The ability to be able to work hard for your dreams to come true, to become a reality. Now I look at where I am now and I know what I want to do…. We need money for research. It may not save my life. It may save my children’s lives. It may save someone you love. …-we are starting the Jimmy V Foundation for Cancer Research. And its motto is “Don’t give up, don’t ever give up.” …. I’m going to work as hard as I can for cancer research and hopefully, maybe, we’ll have some cures and some breakthroughs. I’d like to think, I’m going to fight my brains out to be back here again next year for the Arthur Ashe recipient. I want to give it next year! I know, I gotta go, I gotta go, and I got one last thing and I said it before, and I want to say it again. Cancer can take away all my physical abilities. It cannot touch my mind, it cannot touch my heart and it cannot touch my soul. And those three things are going to carry on forever. I thank you and God bless you all.”
I guess as I reflect on this excerpt,
Live life to the fullest each and every day, fellas. We are fortunate as hell to drive some nice ass rides, scooters, golf carts and whatever the hell else we got. We are fortunate to get up here every single fucking day and do what we do. Life is not guaranteed, especially in today’s fucked up society.
Do things that bring joy in your life.. Spend the extra time with the ones you love… Make up with the ones that you are at odds with… Life is too god damn short. Happy Friday… Have a kick ass weekend… AYE!
