Excellent video, young man. When I was 20, way back in 2001, I remember being obsessed with the idea of dunking a basketball. At 5'7" it was a dream that I thought would be incredible to have come true. I thought to myself, "Once this happens, I'm gonna quit basketball." Then, November 8, 2001, the day came when I finally dunked... and I realized, as you have, that this cycle... really doesn't end unless you choose to take a step back and ask "what is this all for," and that in and of itself, a goal is not what will bring true meaning to our lives. 16 years later, and the Lord has continued to reveal what truly matters most in this life, and it's His love for and through us. Man, I appreciate your spirit and you sharing your journey. Take care.

Great video! I started playing basketball when I was 15 in High School, and I fell in love with the sport and especially trying to develop the ability to dunk (I used to play it everyday after school and during my days off). I'm 5 ft 10 and I achieved the goal of dunking a basketball with a drop step during my second year of College at the age of 18 (I'm from England), but soon after I all of a sudden became very bored of competing and I no longer showed up to practise with my College team. I was one of the highest jumpers on my team and after I could pretty much easily dunk, I no longer cared that other team members could soon out jump me during a friendly competition. I took up an interest in reading instead, started working, making a decent income, and now I'm married and have a child on the way during mid July this year. I am going to be a great dad and I will make my firstborne proud of me by always being there (amongst other things). I still workout every week as it is a passion of mine, however I have no need to go 110% everytime spending hours in the gym since it isn't like I'm getting paid for it and I have more important things to do in my time that revolve around others like friends and family. Instead I am aiming to be healthy, athletic, relatively strong, maintaining my good looks and enjoying my life whilst helping others reach their goals. Just because I'm married and nearly 27 does not mean I'm settling and neither is my wife. If anything my life has gotten more exciting. I am currently learning swahili, and writing a book. Unfortunately I didn't get my driving license when I should have, but atleast I'm doing my theory test next month (it's never too late. Anyways I've waffled long enough. Atleast you've started something and your not being lazy with your life. Keep up the good work.
