“It’s messing people up, this social pressure to “find your passion” and “know what it is you want to do”. It’s perfectly fine to just live your moments fully, and marvel as many small and large passions, many small and large purposes enter and leave your life.

What does my life have in common with the NFL?

Training, recruiting, drafting, hiring, firing, strategy, salary caps, negotiations, therapy, injury, rehab, teamwork, loyalty, dedication, concessions, time-outs, PR, practice, game time, pressure, winning, losing, trading, play books, game films, fans, owners, competitors, haters, trainers, discipline, fatigue, adrenaline, action, downtime, bad calls, lucky breaks, victory and defeat.

All of the above and then some.

I love the NFL. And, I love my life. And, I love that coach gave me a bye week.

I’m headed to Wisconsin with family to eat cheese curds, golf, hike and spend some time with the Green Bay Packers at training camp.
