I recently watched a video which taught me a major lesson about courage and boldness. This visual piece, brilliantly put together with just the right bed music to stir the viewer’s emotions, showed some magical moments between some of soccer legends and their fans.
When I got to the end of the video, I felt some sort of salty liquid rushing out of my eyes. Some people call this liquid tears :-). That’s how beautiful & inspiring the video was! Please find it embedded below the text.
The different scenes in this video, most, if not all recorded on a football pitch, show a fan making a bold move to meet their admired player in person. Some went as far as interrupting a soccer match to get a picture with a particular player or their signature on a T-shirt. What struck me the most was seeing these football legends welcoming the courageous fan’s effort and leaving them with something memorable.
Now, a picture with a footballer or his T-shirt perhaps isn’t that much of a significant thing to some of you. It doesn’t solve any of the problems facing our world today but the long and the short of it is that great courage and boldness is the meal of those who have achieved greatness. Many are fans, but few are ready to interrupt a game in order to meet the subject of their admiration.
I was deeply inspired by what I saw in the video and at the same time, remembered the many times I desperately wished I could act with courage in a given situation or area of my life but fear gripped me. Could this be you? Courage and boldness come from a place of deep conviction that the step you are about to take is the right one for your situation though you know you may encounter challenges. This kind of confidence must have its roots in something or someone greater and stronger than you for it to last.
