Underdogs

I was sitting at home yesterday with my family thoroughly enjoying my Easter dinner. (Turkey actually, I know it's not traditional but it sure was good ! ). And after wolfing down some pie and ice cream we put the Masters Golf Tournament on television.

We figured it would be the Tiger Woods Show but as it turns out Zach Johnson didn't agree. He overcame big odds to hold Woods off and win by two strokes.

What it shows is the power of mind over matter. There is no way Johnson should have won but he did. He overcame a couple of bad holes and but his positive attitude kept him in the hunt. Things like this are always an inspiration to me . When things are tough you can always look at people who overcame adversity. Not just in sports but in all of life's venues.

Check out the inspirational category in My BookWise . There's plenty to choose from, including the recent book by Bob Woodruff "In an Instant " . It makes me realize that I can deal with anything life throws at me.
