He Gave All He Had, Because That’s Who He Is

By the time you read this, the outcome of the Dallas Cowboys vs. Washington Redskins game will be history and the story will be told… but for now all eyes are on Tony Romo, the starting quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, who cracked a rib and punctured a lung during a recent game with the 49ers.

Despite his injuries Romo kept going and pulled off a victory for his team, the Cowboys. Sometimes the win is just about showing up. But who knows how many Cowboy fans took home the lesson of finishing the game, going the extra mile and overcoming obstacles.

When you watched Romo on BigDog Satellite he was playing football. He wasn’t wondering what people were thinking or how much money he’d make. He gave all he had, because that’s who he is… and in the process he inspired his fans to run their own games faster and farther than they ever thought possible.

BIGDOG Satellite will bring you the game with all the thrill and excitement.. but inside the game is a story worth telling. Tony Romo will play football when his ribs heal and in doing what he loves, he’ll inspire us all to go the extra mile.

By the time you read this, Monday’s outcome will be history. The game will be won and the winner called. I can’t predict which quarterback will throw the winning ball, but I can predict the winner. The winners will be the same as in the game of life. They show up, they overcome obstacles and they play to the best of their ability.

There won’t be any wimps playing for the Dallas Cowboys. Players like Romo show up and give their all. They overcome and they never let their team down. The winners will be the fans and followers, watching and cheering and becoming better people than they were before they saw that ball fly across the Texas sky.

Life’s short, don’t sit on the sidelines. Life gives you back what you put in… be the star of your own show and get out there and give it all you’ve got.

When Tony Romo gets that medical release he’ll be anxiously engaged in what he loves, football. In the meantime he’ll be thinking of his fans and his teammates, because that’s who he is. Time passes and turns to history where the story will be told… and for now all eyes are on Tony Romo.

When your story is told all eyes will be on you. Are you playing your best game? Do you get up every time you’re knocked down? Do you cover your team’s back as well as you do your own? Life is tough, but it doesn’t choose the winners and the losers. We choose our own game, play our own field and write our own stories. If you’re ‘in the game’, be in it to win.
