| What We Can All Learn From the Success of Joe BurrowDecember 17 |
| by Steve Gilbert “We must be willing to let go of the life we’ve planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.” — Joseph Campbell LSU quarterback Joe Burrow is having quite a senior season. His Tigers are undefeated and headed for the College Football Playoff and he appears to be the leading candidate to win the sport’s highest award, the Heisman Trophy. So, you would think he’s living his dream. But Burrow actually had a different dream. He wanted to play quarterback at Nebraska, his favorite team as a kid. Nebraska, though, didn’t recruit him. Didn’t want him. And that hurt. Burrow went to Ohio State where he sat on the bench for three seasons before finally deciding to transfer for his final season of eligibility. It was another chance for Nebraska, but once again, they were not interested. Burrow wound up at LSU where he is experiencing a season for the ages. It’s a good reminder that we don’t always know what is going to wind up being best for us. That job we were so crushed about getting? Maybe we find something that winds up being better. That person we tried to date who turned us down and broke our heart? Maybe we end up with someone that is a better match. Today, remember to be open to the possibility that what is breaking your heart right now will lead you to something better in the future so long as you find a way to keep going. ***** Joe Burrows was named the Heisman Trophy winner for the College Football season on 12/15/.
