What are you onto? What is your focus?

Man I got to tell you Monday was a well experienced thing for me and learning quite a bit for my brother was very interesting. We both are sports fans so we heard Bill Belichick's usual phrase, "We are onto Seattle", or we are on to Tennessee, or we are onto Philadelphia. Well the analogy of the situation is what are you focused on what is the eye really on, the prize or the problem in front of you. Or the distraction or even the noise that is distracted you from the main focus. Or even the prize you are fighting towards. For myself I struggle with dealing with silly problems that can be dismissed or even dealing with and a more compatible way, and the problem is trying to not take it seriously by seeing where my stage of life is, and even how to face the problem and deal with it and let it pass by.

So to begin explaining what it means to focus on the situation set at hand. Bill Belichick had strong focus and understood what it means to accomplish and what it means to be successful. The understanding is that whatever is going on in the media especially where they talk about questions that had nothing to do with what it means to be prepared for the game. What it means to stay focused until the after seasons, or even after the game as well. I could say the problem with myself and what I need to learn is understand and focus on what is in front of you instead of looking past the situation, and to be honest I am very fragile to those sensitive situations, and apparently I get easily distracted, so learning this, and seeing what Bill does is quite interesting and it is really about getting down to serious business where you focus on whats 1st instead of after that.

Let's play a little "What If" story, just have a little fun with it, let's say Bill Belichick was the coach of the Vikings and he was doing a press conference and presses were asking questions on how does it feel to have the chance to be the 1st host to host the Superbowl well the first thing I'm sure he will say is that we are onto Philadelphia. And I'm sure the Vikings, well the players on the team was excited about having the chance to be the host of the Superbowl, well basically getting distracted by the hype. And on top of that the game against the Eagles when they brutally served the beat down against the Vikings where the Vikings had their chance to be the host of the Superbowl. Basically there are different way the coach focus and prepares for the task at hand and yeah apparently Bill Belichick who was mentored by Bill Parcels learned how to keep focus and the fact that Belichick took it to another level is quite interesting.

Planning and preparation takes a lot of  focus and focus can lead to accomplishing what is in front of you and then leading to the next task you have been fighting for. The experts or even masters show how much it is important to focus on the real task and understanding. It takes alot of work and learning from my brother where he learns how to make the unaffected problems that don't affect the real task at hand unless you let it prevail against you and the distraction ends up consuming you, I try to avoid distractions and then do my best to let it go and try to avoid the habit of being caught up in the drama in any way.

What is your Tennessee and what is your Seattle and seeing how they avoid the drama where The Patriots had media drama surrounding them and they still managed to have success against their particular opponents. Like The Patriots whopping the Titans 35-14, the media can be considered a distractions or just questions that can wait later on. Taking care of business the obvious task to accomplish the bigger task, and seeing the results on looking on the big picture. This is the one big way to look onto success.

"Do your Job" Weekend Post

Here is what I learned this past weekend and oh man this was a big one. I have been hearing the term Do your job especially from the head coach Bill Belichick, a great no nonsense head coach that shows how being a complete no nonsense can lead to success. He is the guy and over the years I learned are We are on to Seattle or on to Tennessee, and get the business done and man that is quite a strong statement right there, it is a strong statement because when you are up against the team you face you focus on the specific team you are up against.

The lesson I learned was from The Steelers vs Jaguars, oh man it showed how the Jaguars shouldn't have been overlooked and on top of that they definitely need to be Focused on. When you are focused at the task at hand there is a large percentage chance you will be successful depending on what the task is on. I saw the game on Sunday I was like wow I couldn't believe the Jaguars were annihilating the Steelers in the first half, but however one thing I could say they did storm back and attempted a comeback even though it wasn't as successful as it should be. The cockiness of the Steelers well really from the players saying they are onto New England, and going to beat them and the fact that they were focused on the task at hand kind of caught up to them quite a bit. And the surprising thing about that was I thought at least during game time they would be prepared but on a huge surprise it seems like the Jags were getting serious control as well.


Another tip of doing your job especially with Bill Belichick, noticing how the players on the team especially the Patriots the Bill Belichick team. Have players who don't run their mouth especially Rob Gronkowski who hit a player after losing his temper and apologize right after which was man he has quite some character after the incident during his game against the Bills. Like I said in the beginning of the blog avoiding distractions and not answering question that is distracting from the big task at hand sends a message into showing how important the task at hand is because when you're focused and not distracted then you show your determination and show how important whatever is in front of you is.

I can say I really learned it quite myself because whenever I get distracted over stuff that shouldn't distract me it catches up to me, and it really does whenever I was doing my exam or even final exam and I get distracted then it takes me longer to finish my final. Even with other stuff that's when I notice I got to put in full effort into getting the task done, even where I sometimes intensly focus and even find a solution to the issue. Yes emotions distract you as well.

A special Motivational Martin Luther King Week Blog

Remembering Dr. Martin Luther King, man it was a big holiday believe it or not. And the holiday was more than just a day off for the kids but a day to reflect and really think about all the things that he impacted as well. Learning about how he grew up and all the adversities he went through. What we learned as a kid was probably different and then growing up we learned a lot deeper stuff. But the stories have been learned as he grew up a reverend and learned the speech that he did as in Elementary school, the biggest speech that he did with the big "I have a dream Speech" and the fact that my brother got me and my other brother to watch the speech that I found out in school was very very important.

Watching all of the shows and maybe movie documentaries as well which was super remembered and on top of that, history and assemblies that really honored what he does especially movement that brought a ton of equality and how his death even though was tragic made a huge difference. Learning about initiative and learning change especially in his era was the toughest thing for anybody. The fact that discrimination was so prominent in the 60s and on top of that alot of discriminated businesses and restaurants and even restrooms was one of the hugest impacts and learning about it and not living it was quite an interesting investment. Martin Luther King who couldn't even hang out with the white boys who he enjoyed hanging out with because of the color of his skins and even because their mom forbid him to as well, all of these events growing up was quite a huge impact as well.


The Modern era of discrimination isn't really addressed and it is not really racist wise but however it is by sex, sexuality, age, mental health, and even religion too those are where discrimination come from, and now even though racist discrimination has died down, all the other discrimination. Now there are celebrities like Logic speaking out against other discrimination that even lead to suicide and on top of that lead to segregation. The fact that there is always room for change, will world will never stop changing.  Even leading to even donating to other charities and making an impact for run down neighborhoods. Like Colin Kapernick and even Richard Sherman.

The point I was trying to make is whether you do it individually or even as a group aw man, there are so many different ways where you can make an impact and make a change. There is always room for in a song, or poem or even a blog (wink) (wink). Take action and make an impact and great things could or may or will happen.

Fearless Friday: Never backing down

The term and this is probably the first time I am probably blogging about this man. The game I saw on Saturday has prompted me to blog about never backing down, and continuing to fight especially after trailing by 18 on the road as well, and at first it looked like yeah they were inexperienced they weren't ready. Of Course after the half you always come out and just continue trying, even if you are counted out.  As for Marcus Mariotta and where he showed confidence and courage as well leading his team into the playoffs and on top of that leading his team into the huge comeback especially being down by 18. The story of that situation where it looked like they were counted out even though the commentators made the comeback a possibility and the situation was what was the comeback about making it happen, or proving the doubters wrong. These are one of the two positive things in that situation as well.

Focus and Resilience is the one big thing of Never backing down and being on a team shows unity. The Unity of How The Tennessee Titans was one of the big things and I know it is just a wildcard game but however it was still a phenomenal win especially seeing them come from a long way as well on top of that. It was so great to watch because I seriously thought they would've fallen short and not even make the comeback, and continued to get devastated, or just even getting shut down. The comeback play by play was an exciting thing, the resilience was so there even on the defense and also the adjustment and figuring out the solution to the problem was another big thing to focus. As the Coach was the role to the focus and the players were the huge part to the resilience as well.


The experience I learned from myself about focus and how to react from the game is really learning from the coach how to stay calm and stay collected and even learning what went wrong and figuring out how to come up with solutions to overcome tough problems and maybe even being counted out and even being looked down on, especially surprising doubters thinking oh it is going to be another bad year. Focus also means not panicking and not being nervous. For myself and what I am trying to develop myself in is managing focus and being confident and figuring out the problem, and how to turn things around from having a disastrous result to having a successful result as well.  Having the confidence and even the courage that comes with focus and resilience comes at a good price and working twoards and even with that comes with amazing results.


The experience of resilience well especially from myself especially showing toughness and for myself I had to show toughness and even untapped potential as well. Growing up like I mentioned before working out for wrestling and trying to lose all that weight was a real challenge, especially making adjustments changing my eating ways, and making that weight and also noticing my progress of losing all the weight that was hard to lose and even making adjustments. Even a decade ago when I did the Paper Route, I was surprisingly showing resilience even though I was lazy and didn't want to shake myself up, and then looking back at it, I really noticed when I persevered it can really show a sign of progress. That's what I saw from the Titans was just continue to play and not quit, like Marcus Mariotta When he got the ball tipped from him he caught it and continued to run all the way into the end zone. And even the defense showed up and shut down their problem and that was the spirit of Never backing down from a challenge and it was very phenomenal to watch as well.

Being Fearless and stepping up to a challenge can be a big thing and really showing resilience can really open doors to success and even being focus to and keeping your eye on the prize.

Wildcard Weekend

The Wild Card Weekend oh man this is the best weekend where everything begins The NFL playoffs begin and for the teams that have more teams than the team that clinched 1st round byes or even home field advantage. The wildcard is the challenge because you are the lower seed and you are not expected as much to go far even maybe you have the Underdog story almost like The Green Bay Packers or even The New York Giants or even the Baltimore Ravens, with destiny on the line as well. The wildcard can mean a lot of things with tons of unpredictably or even smashing expectations, or failing to meet expectations as well or even as much as the coach asked for as well. My experience and question that I wonder is are you going to handle the pressure or crack under pressure, are you going to allow yourself to be underestimated or are you going to fight all the underestimation.


The wildcard moment is where all the Marbles are on the line and on top of that you may not even get home field advantage especially where you will be on the road throughout the game. Because it is a one and done situation, there is no room for error and no room for an off game so the real question is, is how are you preparing and how are you going to play the real question is are you going to come confident or are you going to come nervous and let either emotion get the best of you or are you going to come to the game calm, focused and even determined. Walking away with your head held high win or lose is always walking away saying you fought hard and is the person that won't come down without a fight, and in my experience that is the feeling I get from time to time where where when I was younger I would be like okay I am afraid to try this but however when I actually try I come with confidence and fail or not I wouldn't regret trying it or failing but I went and attempted, but If I didn't try I would feel like I am having too many regrets.


To continue the Excitement of the Wild Card Weekend is basically trying to win and on top of that keep focused and stay in the moment of a big fight and even maintaining focus and showing the competitive chip on your shoulder as well. The attitude of focus and never backing down from a fight is the biggest story of what is told in the game. Whether it is a movie or a show or even just a game this game shows a story of competition and how the attitude and the off field personal issues come into play and how like I said before playing an off game or even playing an on game, or take advantage of your team playing an off game is a real story and how the results will speak for itself on top of that.

The teams that are facing each other basically explain certain match ups and I'll break it down to where I'll explain the matches I am really anticipating for the wildcard weekend:

The First match up I will explain is



The Falcons who are on the Road to Redemption as half to most consider the biggest Superbowl Collapse in football history on the side of the Falcons as it seems that they are looking for. As the Rams Make a huge return to the Playoffs and as both teams look to make an impact the principal I try to explain is The Rams Who don't have a lot of experience as the Falcons on the road to redemption tell a huge story of excitement especially for a young coach like Sean McVay. Jared Goff who after coming off of a terrible rookie year came back with a strong second year, and with Todd Gurley stepping up as well, as they face the Veterans Matt Ryan and Devonta Freeman. One thing I can say about that is I can't wait for this challenge and see how the Rams pull out or even the Falcons would be interesting, but Handling the Wildcard Pressure and staying focused can really defy experience and losing sometimes can be learning as well.



As for the Titans and the Chiefs They have a Showdown of their own where Alex Smith is on the road to prove he is the Quarterback for the Chiefs. The situation proves and shows are you ready to step up and show that you are the guy or even prove that you are ready to step up in big situations, even for the inexperience like Marcus Mariotta are you willing to develop your experience or crumble. Titans and Chiefs will be an intriguing game where it could have an interesting result.
