Gold Buckle Issue
"Anyone can find the dirt in someone. Be the one that
finds the Gold." - Anonymous
Our re-launch of Rodeo Fame has been quite a journey but here we are with
Volume 1, Issue 1 celebrating our beautiful lifestyle!
Real quick I would like to give a shout out to the prisoners that read Rodeo
Fame behind bars - I hope this gets to you in one piece. We are thinking of
you and praying for you all! No matter what season of life you are in, you are
not alone.
This ‘Gold Buckle' issue has been so exciting to work on because it’s a true
privilege to learn from the winners in our industry. Champions are champions
for a reason and it’s important to study them. It doesn't matter if it’s rodeo
or basketball. Obstacles exist for everyone, and it takes the same endurance
and grit to overcome them.
I will leave you with my opinion of what makes a champion...
The secret to being a champion in life: Doing what you are passionate about.
If you are passion-driven you will always find a way to keep going even when
it’s painful. Passion trumps PAIN. I saw my dad do this a lot in his career and
countless other individuals in the arena of life. Although the storm raged -
they pressed on. The biggest champion I admire is Jesus. His passion and
love for the world trumped the pain he felt on the cross. That Jesus is a real
Champion. Passion TRUMPS pain.
Who do you think has a Gold Buckle in their near future?
