Tom Brady Got Life Right

Here is what I wrote in my journal this morning,,,

"How did Tom Brady get it so right and I got it so wrong?"

Now, to be fair, I haven't gotten it SO WRONG. However, I did think about the difference between my life and his life.

I wrote this after watching a TikTok video of him hugging his three kids and supermodel wife last night after winning his 7th Super Bowl at the age of 43. I assume he is happy. Seemed like it.

As I watched the video over and over I kept thinking to myself...Tom Brady got it right. He really got life right.

So, I pondered...how did he do it? How did he get it so right?

Then it hit me.

Sacrifice.

My guess is he has sacrificed comfort over discomfort more times in his life than we can imagine. From long hours in football to choosing a single woman to live his entire life with and build a family. A hot one for sure but there might be a few others out there that would give him a look.

Sacrifice.

Hell, look at his diet...

"Tom Brady’s diet is based on being 80% alkaline in nature. Based on Chinese medicine, he eats lighter in the summer months, and eats heavier (more meat and processed food like rice) in the winter. His desserts include raw macaroons and avocado-based ice cream"

"For most of the year, Tom Brady is a vegan, but during the winter months he adds some lean meat to his strict diet."

"Tom Brady drinks 25 glasses of water a day starting with alkaline water upon waking up."

I ate BBQ and fries yesterday. He didn't. I bet he hasn't eaten a french fry since college.

Sacrifice.

What are we willing to sacrifice in order to live the life of our dreams? Where can we sacrifice a little more to live a little better? What can I sacrifice today to build a better tomorrow?

Off to the gym...have a kick ass week!
