Search (By the Disciple)

Search.

Ladies and gentlemen it has happened. Not only did the Cardinals make the play-offs; but they have advanced.

Everyone had the Cardinals out in the first round. Why did they even make the play-offs? “They are the worst team in the history to make it and will be beaten at home by Atlanta,” was the battle cry of the experts.

Well, I guess everything that was down is now up and the Cardinals are moving on.

The Nation played very well as they started early and finished strong. The Red Birds showed their age and immaturity in the second quarter; but did bounce back and took a strangle hold on the game in the third quarter.

The Cards will be moving on to face either the Carolina Panthers or the New York Giants. Both teams have beaten the Cardinals this year. Both games were very competitive and we can look forward to another tough contest next week.

The Cardinals won the game on Sunday because they found a new sense of self. They went on a journey of self-discovery this week and ended with the product that we witnessed against Atlanta. They established themselves as more than a passing team.

On Sunday the Cardinals established themselves as deeper than what is understood on the surface. The surface is never fully understood as it comes and goes too quickly to analyze. Establishing the running game created a level that no one new existed.

They searched within themselves and understood that everything comes down to the moment. The same moment that we are presented in every second of our life. We have the power to change.

Believe in Now!

Believe in the notion that you can do anything you want in any moment of your life. You have the power to live however you want or feel you should.

No one can ever tell you what to do. No one can ever control you or limit your possibilities. Take everything as it comes and understand that everything is connected. Everything will happen as it is supposed. We go on these journey’s to discover all of these lost items in our life.

We are constantly faced with despair.

You search for love.

You search for peace.

You search for faith.

You search for happiness.

We never find any of these things we are searching for as they are always an inch away. They are always a step ahead as they are not permanent destinations, but momentary glimpses of the possibilities. The search is the most satisfying as it is a journey for the endless and limitless thought of Hope.

The search is always conducted in the same manner with a stripping of everything around you. When you find yourself in the most horrible of situation you run.

You run from yourself and everything that is closest to you. If you are so unhappy it must be with the composition of your foundation. Therefore, you break it all down and are left with pieces to the whole of your life.

Then the search begins. The search to find your true identity. You search and try to do actions that caused you happiness in the past. You try and relive the memories of what made you smile and laugh in the past. But, you find out that you have changed. You are not the same person that you were before you hit your Dark Ages.

There is no reset button that places you back to the moment when you were happy. There is no formula that allows everything to make sense.

What is known is that you need to make the best of each moment. When a chance presents itself you need to seize it. You need to not be stubborn or run when you feel overwhelmed; but rather take on the energy head on and see if you are strong enough to survive.

From experience, we are always a lot stronger than we give ourselves credit for.

The Cardinals went searching for a reason to win the game on Saturday. That reason was the determination to prove the entire world wrong. The determination of a lack of respect.

When you are not given the respect you feel you deserve; you need to earn it through action. Words can only tell so much of the story, but actions will provide the theory of truth.

Think with you mind. Act with your heart. Follow yourself as you will always know deep down that the happiness and love of your life exists within your heart and your soul. There is nothing nor no one out there that can complete a fractured soul.

Love yourself.

Love others.

Make every moment the best.

Live with no regrets and always be honest with everyone; especially yourself!

Learn from the past. Build on the mistakes you made. Understand the future as endless possibilities to achieve the unthinkable.

Thank you and God bless. Go Red Nation and I’ll be rooting with you next weekend.
