...
Many times in life we don't experience the "big, earth shattering" events. It is just the ordinary, the routine, the nothing spectacular.
In the midst of my ordinary routine I received some great news a few days ago. Great news that I would say is the result of "the million drops of water."
I have a player on my team named Brandon. No one in his family has ever graduated from High School. No one! Ever!
Well Brandon is well on his way to graduating and he just got accepted to Union College in southern KY.
He received his letter of acceptance in the mail and immediately called me. The excitement in his voice and the celebration in the background was priceless.
As I reflected on my relationship with Brandon, there really isn't anything that stands out as "the turning point" or the big aha moment. Just the constant practice ... the virtue talks, the mentoring sessions, the getting back up after falling ...
It all adds up over time. And when it adds up it can be pretty special.
I know the temptation to question, "Is this really worth it? Is it working?" always comes up.
Remember Brandon ... remember the million drops of water.
IT IS WORTH IT!
