I just finished what in the New England Patriots defeat these Seattle Seahawks insuperable. Forty nine. I lived in doing that six years and be ensuring for the patriot Stan and the Super bowl was played in Phoenix downstream from where I live now, so that we got a fine, I guess you could say, my team, one or at least a team I cheer for one same thing happened to me when a team that I cheer for wins a major sporting championship. This year's no different, I'm instantly taking back to a conversation with a friend that occurred almost twenty years ago, specifically the mid. Ninety Ninetys and the Nebraska corn Oscars are just one the unsuitable a college football championship after cell ready with our

and the shore while, after the final whistle we are ready to leave, Other party ended, I recall vividly sitting there passenger seat of my friends, Honda CORE remarking how far it was to win sure, knowing what to do next. I suggested that may be each head home to bear because we needed to get up early the next day for school. He agreed and made this passing remark. The emptiness of sports is most felt. Victory. I knew immediately what he meant. We were huge Nebraska Cornhusks and even though neither of us played on the team or even attended the school, but that didn't matter we invested a lot of resources into the season, the team schedule, dictated hours. We spent money on t, shirts and hats. Some take as during the year We tied our emotions to the outcome of the games and we are you'd relentlessly with anyone who disagreed with the superiority of our team, we were highly acid in them and their success,

they won the big game and were crown champion, we were excited for them and for us but then we return home to go to bed. Life doesn't stop for Fortunately, championship up until this, a year I never personally experienced a championship, for one reason or another. We had always fallen short in defeat. The emptiness is rarely felt because there is always next year the thrill of the pursuit still remains. You look back in debate. What went wrong or what reverie cost you a chance at the title. You talk about the next season. What changes need to be made and how things will turn out better? Your left, hoping. Striving to defeat those that defeated you. But when you win, the pursuit of the goal is removed, there's no one left to defeat. There's no obstacle left to overcome. Your team has reached a pinnacle of sport but it doesn't change your life in any way in fact, work once again in the morning the emptiness of sports who see his most felt in Victor

but there's not a negative posed to disparage athletics. I've competing individual man, team sports, my entire life through athletics, I've learned continue to learn important life. Lessons teamwork, discipline, strategy, perseverance, that competition plays in our lives So this is not opposed to disparage those who play sports or those who coach them professional collegial. Varsity or younger the goal of sport to become best all around athlete or team that you can possibly become and that progress is displayed on the field of play. Relations to the New England patriots they have given their life and sky to the pursuit of a championship in the harbor because paid off. No doubt their accomplishment results in great satisfaction or them, and everyone involved in the organization. Instead, this is opposed about the things we decide to pursue with our lives, because sometimes it is difficult to notice the emptiness of these pursuits until we actually

teen them. While we are striving before we reach the top, the reward appears to be worth the effort and the investment, but this is not always the case. For example, consider the pursuit of riches when we dont have them, but choose pursue them. We do so because we think this Lucian too. Many of our problems lie there in money. We believe we will find contentment security, respect, confidence or importance, but the emptiness of riches is most felt victory only when we obtain them do we discover money does not bring nearly as much security and happiness as we expected Ziegler in this way quote money mobile, happiness, but everyone wants to now for themselves and glow The same argument, I believe, can be made of material possessions, public, accolades, fame or early retirement when we do not Thus, these we desire them and faithfully invest our time and talent into them. I often wonder if these pursuits,

so fall short of our greatest potential in Greece fulfilment, but maybe it is until we finally achieve them that we recognise the emptiness of them. The solution to this dilemma to be honest not entirely sure, but whenever I discover pursued that brings fulfilment upon his accomplishment I feel called to invest more and more resources into it. When I give my full backing, and apparently well and feel the satisfaction that comes from it desire more of it when I reached the bar day of work. Knowing my focus was on other people, I feel fulfilled and I desire more of it I generously invest money into cause. I believe in and feel a sense of accomplishment I desired, best more money in that direction. Ultimately, this is not opposed about sports. This is opposed about Dana fine, which pursuits bring the greatest fulfilment and life in finding the strength to invest our resources in them.
