Have You Done Everything You Can Do?

A few months ago, I finally saw the movie "Rudy". This movie came out in the mid 90's and it has been recommended to me by a few different people for awhile now. It is a great movie based on a true story. By the way, if you haven't seen this movie, I highly recommend it. There are quite a few life lessons that can be gleaned from this film. It is the story of a young man who has a dream of playing football for Notre Dame and the adversity he must overcome to reach his dream. By the end, of the movie, I was crying like a baby (I know, it's a little embarrassing).

There is a part in the movie where Rudy is attending a junior college while he is trying to get accepted into Notre Dame. In this one scene he meets with a father who is counseling him and Rudy asks "Have I done everything I can Do?". What a powerful question.

Do you reflect on your day and think about what you did well and what you can do better? Can you say, at the end of the day, "I have done everything I can to be one step closer to my dreams and goals"? 

One other side note, it is just as important to reflect on your successes as it is to review the things you could have done better.  We can talk more about this specifically in future blogs.
