First off it has been months since I last posted here on my blog unfortunately. I really enjoy blogging and have missed it. It has been a rough few months and unfortunately it's not over yet. But a weight has been lifted from my shoulders and I am able to blog again...I feel one of the most beautiful experiences an individual can experience is triumph and victory over the greatest challenge ever before them. For some that is winning the French Open, for others it's surviving in Survivor and for most it is the ability to be successful in your endeavors. Every one of us is paving our own road to success. I see it as a journey. Some take detours, others are in holding patterns or downward spirals. But it is the very few who are able to conquer and accomplish what they have set out to do.
I have dreams and I have set out to accomplish those dreams but right now I am stuck between a boulder and a hard place.
Roger Federer is not only an incredible athlete but it seems he is an incredible person as well. I think after Federers loss to Rafael Nadal last year he felt he had a monkey on his back. Nadal has won the French Open for the last 4 years straight: 2005, 2006, 2007 & 2008. What an incredible accomplishment. I was absolutely blown away when Nadal lost in the 4th round of the French Open 2009 to Robin Soderling. But it appears Nadal has been having pain in his knees. That makes total sense because when I was watching him play against Soderling - it didn't seem like Nadal at all.
So now Federer is tied with Pete Sampras at 14 Grand Slam Titles. Federer definitely beat that monkey off of his back - well deserved. Federer is on his way to making history. I think the greatest obstacle we will ever face is ourselves. Why is that? Why do you get in your own way? Why do I get in my way?
Federer is living proof that you can defeat whatever obstacle lies before you. I love to witness people reap victories - I look forward to having my own one day.
