Daily Motivator for Saturday

Hey everyone!

I've been the busy beaver this morning. Up at 5, finished laundry, got my walk in, cleaned the house a bit and got the cooler packed for tailgating.

Good luck today to my second team, USF as they face Louisville at evil Papa John's Stadium. The Bulls haven't won a game yet in Louisville so this could be a tough matchup. And of course I'm giving much love to my 'Noles as we face VaTech today. This isn't the same team that laid 40 points on us last year, so let's hope we can return the favor in our house. I know I'm going to yell my ass off.

I hope everyone has a safe and fun Saturday. Good luck to all teams today, except UF and UM.

Here's the Motivator for the Weekend:

Empowering passion

Is there something you desperately need? Your sense of desperation and your need will work against you, and will make it even more difficult to attain what you're after.

By very definition, whatever you need you do not have. When you continually reinforce the idea that you do not have something, you continually push that thing away from yourself.

Replace your desperate need with a passionate desire. That will frame your situation in a much more positive, powerful perspective.

With desperation, you feel like giving up. With passion, on the other hand, you create the energy to move decisively forward.

With need, you feel an emptiness that drains your every moment. With desire, you constantly motivate yourself to create fulfillment.

Let go of your needs, for they will only keep you needy. Replace them with positive desires, and feel the empowering passion that will make those desires happen.
