New Location, New Trial

So, now that I have changed locations, and found myself back in Finland where a great opportunity presented itself, I had to come here and show what i can do on field, and the man I am.  When it's time for me to move, and travel again a lot goes through my mind, things such as is this the break and team I have been waiting for that will give me an opportunity? Is this where God is bringing me to learn something in life? How am I going to manage being out of contract and with no stable source of income at the moment, how long can I last? Just to name a few.  I always end up sending my mind away in times of doubt and turn these questions into affirmations, I take the risk and go anyways, and somehow it usually works out in someway or another.  I guess this is the price I pay for going after a dream, a vision, they say sacrifices must be made in order to achieve your goals, I have experienced this over and over, and it does sometimes get overwhelming, and difficult, but I always continue to push through, all things are possible, I hope this is the break I am looking for, I believe I deserve it.  I like to keep these short and straight to the point, and share my thoughts, and whats on my mind.  I was once a kid who believed he could fly, it's time for me to test my wings.

My Why, My Reason, My Purpose.

Hope this finds you well,

As a young footballer growing up in Canada where football "soccer" is one of the most loved sports, but most difficult to break through because of the soccer culture in Canada, I write this post to bring you inside my mind.  I write this message as a means to connect with young footballers in Canada, and around the world who are finding it difficult to break through and fulfill the dream of becoming a professional athlete. I have a few questions that I asked myself when pursuing my vision and goals after the setbacks and heartache I suffered early on in my career. The first question was, what do I want to do with my talent and career? Secondly, where in the world do I want to play, and how can I get there?  These two questions for me were extremely important at the time, because I began to question my abilities and goals, because of minimal opportunities around me, and all the negative criticism about becoming a professional. This post is to let you know that your dream is a reality, that if you put your mind and heart to something it can be done.  Do not make someone else's reality of a situation your reality, stay firm to your dreams despite what is going on around you, and what your current circumstances may be, it shall come to pass.  ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!
Until next time...
