Welcome back NFL, oh how we have missed you, us football fans and fantasy owners that is. After months of waiting the anticipation is finally over, the NFL season has arrived yet again for another season and as a result Sundays can commence in being exciting once again.
There is no denying that when it comes to sports in America it is the NFL that reigns supreme. No other sport has it's collective fan base eating out of the palm of their hands for yearning to watch
more of its sport in this country, than football currently does. Whether it is buying merchandise,watching the games, setting up your fantasy team, talking about the games to your colleagues at work, or children talking to friends at school about yesterday's game, it is pretty clear that when it comes to garnering buzz and generating attention football is king, and we wouldn't have it any other way.
Let's face it for us who are fans of the sport football has us wrapped around it's finger and not necessarily cause we want it to be that way but more so because we need it to be that way. We need that special event, that must see attraction that captivates us in a week in week out basis and Football serves as just that. It is the continuation of something that we just can't get enough of, in the same way the latest movie in a trilogy is or the continuation of a book series from a popular author is as well, we desperately yearn to see it pick up right where it left off. Through that wait the anticipation for yet another enthralling season is at it's peak, with fans clamoring to get to their TV sets to see just how it unfolds.
In the same way we yearn to see the latest talked about and exciting movie or the next great episode in a wildly popular TV series, The NFL has simply become can't miss television. We love the NFL but honestly how can we help but not to. There is a variety of reasons to watch the NFL product and why football captivates us so highly, whether it's to see if a champion can defend their crowd, to find out which new team will rise from the ashes and perch themselves among the elite, to impressively take witness to which quarterback will take that next step as they continue to climb up the ranks among the elite of the sport or just whether you made the correct choices with your fantasy picks this season. There is a variety of reasons that the NFL has us glued to our TV screens and it's unfolding drama, and why we are way too invested to simply just not watch anymore.
We need the NFL just as much as the NFL needs us, we crave for it's exciting brand of action and its competitive battles and it craves our attention and money, It is a give and take relationship that goes both ways, a relationship between us and the sport that has made it the most popular one in America. We are compelled by the great athletes, the spectacular plays, the rising stars, our teams success, potential comebacks, and both the player and team improvements made from one year to the next. The NFl has left us under its spell and right now it is way too enticing for us to want to break it out of it. The truth however is that its hard to blame any of us for being fans in large part to the quality of the games,how the NFL perfectly orchastrates their exposure, and their buzz through commercials and a week long wait, that enables a fans interest to reach a crescendo by the time game time hits, all to wonderfully be fulfilled for a couple of glorious days of competitive football action, and to restart all over again the following week.
The strength of the sport is their great ability to leave us wanting more all while giving us a so much to take in and enjoy during each season. Unlike baseball and basketball which tend to give us more games than we would want or tends to drag on for way too long, football is the perfect length where it's not too short and not too long, all as it succeeds in captivating us with it's presentation,suspense, and fast paced competitive action.
Does The NFL have it's fair share of problems behind the scenes? yes it does and there is absolutely no denying that fact, that however is not why we watch, it the game's graceful visual beauty witnessed through its violence, the anticipation of it's continuing story being played out right before our eyes, the answering of our speculation for our teams potential success, and the fun filled ride we know it will take us on in the search of a crowned champion that has us mesmerized and hooked on its product and leaves us wanting more year in and year out. As yet another season has come it is these compelling components that will leave us transfixed on its continuing saga all while leaving us engaged in its visual drama right down to it's final conclusion.

our differences equal our connection
Differences, what makes the world wonderful and special is precisely that. Whether it's a difference in ethnicity, race, culture, age, color and gender all have been necessary in defining not only human beings but life itself. Each one of us is different from one another in one way shape or form, we like different things from music, to movies, to books, to TV, we all have different dreams we wish to accomplish and we vary from one another in lifestyle, based off of how we choose to live to our lives.
We as people are designed to be different just as much as we are designed in many ways to be similar. It is those differences however that make us understand one another better to view one another in a brighter light and to grow as people from accepting those differences, and being able to respect it as well. Through one's respect for someone being different you accept them shining in their own light, thereby allowing others to shine beautifully in their own way as well.
understanding one's unique make-up representing who they are is up to us to create and respect and once we can do just that, we can go on from there to have an appreciation for what person in essence represents. We have the power to uplift others worthy sense of self, and grow as people as a result of doing that, as seeing the beauty in someone difference helps all of us see the beauty in other peoples differences as well.The United States of America symbolizes all people from all walks of life coming to one country and benefiting it through their presence, culture, language and ethnicity. We are connected through each race, culture and distinct difference that each one of those countries beneficially provides us. Through the presence of those who are different we learn, we adapt, we grow, we assimilate to others and their representative nature.
This in my opinion is what makes America as a whole so special and so attractive as a destination to embark upon and to stay in. It is our acceptance and our understanding of others no matter their appearance or culture or religion or sexual orientation that helps further distinguish America as a great country that is very much worthy of its reputation and praise. ONe person difference from us is not meant to be as much loved or hated as it is meant to be respected where within the confines of that respect can hopefully grow a civil appreciated understanding of the internal makeup of the different elements of what can make a person who they are in their met representation.
It is not our job to have the answer towards who someone is or whythe result of their visual distinction lives up to our own held requirements, but rather if their self expression lives up to their yet to be finished definition towards who they wish to conclusively represent themselves as. If we as human beings are walking representation of god's art then it should probably be left up to himto be able to merrit the proper distinc oppinion of what that valued artwork overall worth truly signifies. We as people can only appreciate the various differences that he created us with, and once we can understand that we can start to understand why each of us serve as a beautiful wonder waiting to be explored.

Hope will always be a key
What is hope? How do we hold on it? These questions are prevalent for every living soul walking the face of the earth today. Hope in definition is defined by a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen. Inside of us we all hold some semblance of hope, some in a smaller context and others do so on a much larger scale. Whatever the size,we use it as the fuel for our distinction, the guide for our desired life journey, the helpful push to our dreams conquest, and most importantly as the internal spiritual calling to get us through tough times. Certain distinct circumstances may bring about this useful need for it's power. through tough times hope uplifts us, aid us, encourages us, and often times benefits us in any en devour we wish to accomplish. It helps us through any saddened mood we internally hold and .helps spark the self positivity we may for the moment have missing within us. Hope is never magically set as it has to be generated to be successfully garnered from within and hopefully if were lucky enough it can be sparked for us through others in our lives, or in the specific way we see others live theirs.
The fashion in which we attain it is less important than the overall significance of keeping its important meaning within us to begin with, which leads to my second question how do we hold on to it. That can be a rather difficult question to answer, many may have an easier time keeping a strong and consistent postive hope stached in their heart and minds, all while for others this can a very difficult task and can be rather challenging with life's consistent nature of mixing the good with the bad into the fabric of our ongoing lives.
Facing obstacles can breed frustration, that apparent frustration then quietly can proceed to culminate gradually into stress, stress can then lead into sadness, and its sustained length may at times lead into depression.It is the hope that we attach to our circumstances however that lift us out of our rut, makes us think better of our circumstance, provides us with a cherished thought out of our situations improvement, shining a light into our prevalent darkness which can be the theoretical helping hand to get us back up on our feet yet again.
The best way I can answer this question is to simply ask another, Is the hope of a positive change important and necessary enough for you to want to keep it? If it is then you as a person will find the neccesariry way to somehow find it and use it accordingly, and once found will increase the importance of your yearning to store it within yourself, to help you whenever needed most. As people we often times are led through life by our emotions the feelings that we instantly get at a given moment. The glorious moments provide an exuberant and exhilerating feeling that doesn't at all need the effectiveness of hope, It is the grim days and sometimes the painful ones however that require it the most, and when it is both beneficial and crucial to our overall emotional well being. through the ups and down, life's twists and turns it is through hope that we stay afloat, keep our heads above water and have the necessary tool to carry on. Life at times can certainly be a bare to get through it can test us right to our very core all while trying in a unique way to find what were made of, yet it is through hope that inate belief turned on within us that catapults our desire to push forth, to seek the improvement we so desperately crave to have for the benefit our emotional mood and views at that presice and distinc moment.
Hope is the cure that helps heal us the medicine from the sickness of life's harsh realities and our navagational compus through the bad and difficult all the way to the good and mentally achievable.
We give it the power it warrants, the meaning to it's important definition as it guides us with a purposeful distinction waiting to be decoded in time, we just have to give it the green light and let it help guide us through the navigational journey of life.
