"Great moments are born from great opportunity. That's what you have here, tonight, boys. That's what you've earned here tonight. One game. If we played them ten times, they might win nine, but not this game. Not tonight. Tonight, we skate. Tonight, we stay with them, and we shut them down, because we can! Tonight, WE are the greatest hockey team in the world. You were born to be hockey players, every one of you. And you were meant to be here tonight. This is your time!
-Herb Brooks
We are a blessed people. Opportunity surrounds us at every second of every day. So why are some more successful than others? First, when faced with great opportunity, we must recognize it. There is a very famous quote by Thomas Edison that reads "We often miss opportunity because it's dressed in overalls and looks like work." Second, we must be willing. We must be willing to give everything we have. Blood, sweat, and tears, right? Maybe not in every scenario, but we get the point. As you go through your day, look for opportunity. It comes in all shapes and sizes. And when you see it, grab it and do everything you can to hold on and turn that great opportunity into a great moment. Best of luck, my friends.
