*(excerpt from the WIN blog post When WIN was...)
Now What? Those two words were cut out of a sports magazine and stood firmly on my trophy shelf for the three months prior to high school graduation. Now, it was July 1999 and I stood in front of this small sign and reflected on the significance of graduating from high school, being accepted into college, and accepting a scholarship to be a collegiate student-athlete. The sign was designed to remind me to stay organized, prepared, and focused on the pursuit of reaching my goals. For months I had received verbal reminders from my mom, my girlfriend (married 2005), and from my mentor & Godfather (Mr. Burton), and now I used this sign as a symbol of their mentoring. So, as I stood in my bedroom in front of these two shelves full of academic and sports trophies ... as a high school graduate ... excited about college/the next level ... recalling the statistics that suggests that I beat the odds ... that sign sparked a recurring question and stimulated my thought process to, once again, lead me to ask 'Now What?' It was a great moment to experience success and I felt ready to continue to pursue my goals. However, I quickly realized that what was more revealing than the outcome or end result was the understanding of the process and how I achieved my goals. |
