This game is particularly interesting. For the first time in about 36 years, a team is trying to go through the whole season UNDEFEATED.
Not a bad effort. Seeking perfection.
For mine, it has interesting parallels to our own search for fulfilment of our own personal goals.
But the real story of inspiration was something I read in the Sun Herald yesterday.
It was a feature article on Ryley Batt, an Australian Wheelchair Rugby player and his quest to make the Paralympic Games this year.
If you are feeling down in the dumps about whatever cards that life is dealing you at the moment, read this.
It will be a great reality check.
If you missed it and you're interested in reading the whole article, take a few mins and check out the link below:

Inspiring stuff right!
MY 2 CENTS WORTH
Lately there has been a lot of press in the local media about the obesity epidemic and most of it is misinformation and sensationalist journalism as far as I'm concerned.
Take todays Telegraph for example: 'Healthy' Foods That Hide Fat screams the headline. Basically they are saying that a Big Mac has less fat than some breakfast muesli and ready to eat meals.
The big point the sensational heading missed was that even though a muesli is high fat, it has nuts in it, which are high fat and if anyone tries to tell you that nuts are not good for a healthy diet than I'd walk the other way.
Muesli is not the best breakfast option, but definately not the worst option. Most pre packaged cereals that come in a box are just sugar disguised as a meal.
AND whoever said a ready to eat meal is a 'healthy' meal? Read the nutritional labels if you are confused!
If the ingredient list of your frozen meals has a list as long as your arm of words that you cannot pronounce and numbers than you would hardly call it healthy.
Don't believe me? Go home and check out your freezer on your weight watchers meal.
The best option is to cook a quick stir fry if you are short on time.
I don't claim to be Jamie Oliver in the kitchen but i can chop some veges throw in some beans or chick peas if I don't have time to chop up some meat and presto, 5 mins later I've got a great tasting, healthy meal that takes about 2 mins longer than nuking your frozen dinner. Drizzle some flax seed oil on top if you want some extra taste.
That feels better after getting that off my chest!
LET'S CONNECT
It seems these days that everyone is getting into the latest networking sites. After a lot of initial resistance and scepticism, I gave in last year and have realised how valuable sites like Facebook are as a way of connecting with long lost school and work friends.
So, if you're on facebook, let's become friends. My link is below.
