never give up!

so i finally got to a celtics playoff game in the garden. good news, bad news.

the good news was: it was, in fact, an historic game. the bad news? well, it was the worse playoff loss in celtics history. an all out thumping.

now... if i were a celtic that night, letting those 19000 fans (including my son and I) down, i would not have shown my face in public. i mean, hang it up. it was that bad.

but, in game 5. in cleveland. against the mighty lebron--a significant thing happened. they forgot about that aweful loss and moved on. instead, they gave Cleveland an historic loss--their worst playoff loss ever.

hmmm. makes me think about perseverance. it is one of the highest human virtues. without it, we slump off and think life is a big waste of time. but with it? with it we acheive amazing things. with it we grow and get stretched from our failures.

the bible says we can even rejoice because of trials. why? because of perseverance.

so wherever you're at, never give up! see all of this as an opporunity for growth! and don't forget that historic victory may be just around the corner.
