Well, this gave me a real boost of energy and inspiration this morning and I hope it does the same for you.
Jared Allen, the former Minnesota Viking whose professional accomplishments are off the charts (5x pro bowler, 4x all-pro, 12 seasons, 136 career sacks, NFL Hall of Fame, nearly single-handedly bringing back the mullet hairstyle) tells us of his truly best accomplishments.
The two most important decisions you'll make in life is: 1. whether you decide to follow Jesus or not and 2. is who you marry. Because there's only two types of people. There's boat anchors who drag you down and there's people who elevate you and you are a true game elevator. You're one of the smartest people I know. I am in awe of you every single day. And I love you more than life itself.
Then Allen turns his attention to his girls.
To my amazing daughters ... through this process the word "legacy" has been talked about a lot. The Hall ... is here to tell my story. Well, I'm here to tell you two you are my greatest accomplishments. When I get called home to heaven one day, if all they talk about is this gold jacket, my career, then I failed miserably as a father, a husband, and a friend. You two are my legacy ...
Always put Christ first, find your "why," always dream big dreams, and always pursue greatness in whatever you do ... God bless you all.
I think I just became a Jared Allen fan.
