Roger Federer – Think Different
I posted this video on my Federer blog, but I was so deeply touched by this that I had to put it here as well. Growing up I was a misfit, a troublemaker, a rebel, a crazy one. Or at least that was how I was labeled. Growing up in a household that was dysfunctional and in disorder had a lasting impact on my life. I knew I could never ever be ‘normal’ after what I went through. The more I tried to fit in, the more I became a misfit. So in the end I decided to just roll with it. I realize I will never be viewed as normal by society, but that is OK with me now. In fact I prefer it that way. It is far better to be an outcast and be real, than to fit in and live a lie. I am not fond of rules, and I don’t respect the status quo. And while society have never viewed me as normal, they have never been able to ignore me. I have no interest in being seen as ‘normal’ anymore. My only wish is to push limits and cause change…
My appreciation goes out to Roger Federer, who keeps pushing boundaries while inspiring many.
Well, nice confession for someone that is not very found off rules. Have you ever imagined that Jesus Himself was pushing limits and thank God created a change?
Unfortunately modern gladiators like Roger get more credit from us than the Son of God…
Of course Jesus pushes limits. That what hes known for. I dont believe he was the son of God though, not unless we are all sons and daughters of God…
