From Sidelines to Super Bowl: Make This Year Your Year

Do you ever have those days where you just feel like, man, this is going to be a good day? I’m wired up today, and it feels like today is my Super Bowl.

The Super Bowl is the championship game in the NFL. I saw old highlights of past Super Bowls the other day and it got me thinking about how some people invest so much in something outside themselves, often at the expense of their own dreams and goals.

What Is Your Super Bowl?

What I don’t want for you is to go through life just being a fan on the sidelines. What is your Super Bowl? What’s the big goal you’re working toward? When you watch athletes, entertainers, or anyone at the top of their game, you’re seeing someone chase their dream. Are you doing the same for yourself?

A lot of us don’t have our own Super Bowls. We distract ourselves with pleasures because we lack purpose. Ask yourself, what is my Super Bowl? What’s the big thing I want to achieve this year? If you don’t know, take a moment, pause this, and figure it out. Without a goal, another year will just slip by.

Rep Yourself

We often rep our favorite teams, actors, or brands, but do you rep yourself as hard? Do you believe in yourself and support your own dreams as much as you do others? You have to be your biggest fan. I always believed in myself, even when nobody else did. Can you look in the mirror and say, “I believe in me”? That’s the mindset you need for 2024.

Learn and Apply

When I watch a movie or a game, I’m not just watching for entertainment. I’m learning. What can I take from their work ethic or their skills and apply to my life? Be a student of life. Extract lessons from everything you watch and experience.

Get Off the Sidelines

It’s time to get in the game. You don’t have to be a superstar right away, but you have to start doing something. If you’re unsure how to get started, ask yourself, “Who can I help?” Helping others can give you a sense of purpose and get you moving forward.

Take Action

There’s always a step you can take right now. It doesn’t have to be big, but it has to be something. Take that step, and you’ll discover how powerful you really are.

Let’s make 2024 our year. Believe in yourself, find your Super Bowl, and get in the game. Have a great day, and remember, it’s Shark Theory.
