Is IT Worth IT

After hearing all the news over the NFL draft about who went where and when he was picked. I have to ask the question. Is it worth it?
Well the short answer is yes, but there is a long answer that everyone should know.

Tim Tebow was one of the best college players to ever play the game hands down and that’s coming from a FSU fan. He came to play everyday and was an inspirational leader to his teammates and so many others. His work ethic was never questioned and his character is as flawless as could be, but there was all this talk about he could never make it the NFL. His release is low, his delivery was too slow and he can't read a defense. Every expert had him picked to go in the third round and just dogged him day after day and told him what he could not do.


Dez Bryant was the guy who was slated as the best prospect in the draft, a top 5 talent. He can make every catch on the field and would be unstoppable in the NFL. He has character issues and missed his last year of college football. He handled everything badly leading up to the draft and everyone said he was too immature to play ball.

Now I am not saying who is going to be a better player in the NFL and I hope they both succeed, but I am saying that one guy with his leadership, work ethic and will to win brought himself up from and third round pick to a first round pick and earned himself millions of dollars. While the other dropped out of the top twenty and lost millions of dollars, because of his work ethic and immaturity.

So I will ask my question again. Is it worth it? Is it worth it to wake up every morning and put in work on the field when everyone else is sleeping? Is it worth it to lead by example and show everyone it can ONLY be done the right way if you want to be the best? Is it worth to always be on time and ready to work? Is it worth it to take everyone's criticism and harness it into a driven force for your improvement? Is it worth it to be the best in every aspect of your life that you can control? The short answer is YES.
So the next time you roll over in bed and hit the snooze button or the next time you show up late to a meeting, workout, or a practice. Ask yourself is it worth it to squander away all the gifts that God gave me, just because it is the easy thing to do. There will be tons of people who tell you that you can’t. It is time to shut them up. Let’s get to work!
