The bumble bee isn't suppose to fly...
You know, babies and toddlers really don't know what they are or are not suppose to do or say at their age. They only absorb what's presented to them. So, if you attempt to teach a 3 year old to read/recite a complex poem, they will rise to the occasion. Obviously they wouldn't read it, but if you repeat it to them enough they will probably memorize it. It's the same for the bumble bee. Its wings are too thin and small to carry such a thick and round frame, but clearly it just took off and began to fly! Life is a lot like that... Circumstances and people teach us that we aren't "suppose" to do certain things or that we are incapable... Maybe even too young, not experienced enough, or not the right fit. Because of our family units, background history, current environment or home situation, you are suppose to fail. KICK ROCKS in FLIP FLOPS to all those jerks!! You can do anything! Actually, more than what you think you can do! For the last 6 years I've been told I'm too young, to aggressive, to combative, my attitude is going to stop me, etc. Although I am a fragment of all those things, even now, I still and always have believed God for a high school head coaching volleyball program, a successful photography business, and a RoCkin sports training organization for our youth. After 4 years of coaching at the junior high level, I became worried that I would be labeled as a 'middle school' coach. I had to get out! Well, lucky for me the school was getting a new high school and I was excited and hopeful about going. WELL, after being 'hoodwinked' I was left behind. Now, after year 6, I understand why I was KEPT, not left, behind. God had something better for me and didn't want the wrong person/people connected to my breakthrough. Today, I'm not only at a high school, but a 6A high school, as the varsity assistant coach and head JV coach to two rising programs. AND I did it without the manipulation of anyone's unsolicited assistance. ALL God! I also had my first P.R.E.P Skills Volleyball Camp and it was a major success!! I'm on my way, in a great direction, to my dreams! It's crazy and AMAZING to recognize that God STILL has a plan even when we fail him daily. Believe in YOU, trust GOD, and expect the BEST! Take chances in faith... Some would say that it takes the first step in the right direction... I say it takes a step, period! Some big, some small, but make a move and in some instances, EXTREME moves!! If that means leaving the security of your parents home, your current company, school system, or simply quitting without any other tangible options, GO FOR IT!! Go outside and chase a bumble bee...You'll be surprised how far you'll GO!
