So, here’s the final Superbowl ad for today that means a lot to a lot of people, including me. After all of the superficiality that shows 24/7 on American tv, it’s kind of refreshing that something like this comes from a corporation (even if it’s one built on entertainment). Whether they get what millions are starting to say out loud or not we won’t know until we see how they keep acting after this.
But for now, here’s Flash Fans celebrating a bunch of guys who like to play hockey for nothing more than enjoying the game. No glory, but a whole lot of guts. As it should be with anything that you care about. Yeah, glory is nice in small doses, but it’s got a habit of doing bad things when it becomes constant and sucks your soul dry.
So, do something that you love, enjoy, and live for. People will tell you that the payback is what’s important. What they don’t tell you is that the payback isn’t really anything tangible (no, not money or glittering rewards). It’s about the payback that nourishes your soul. That’s the gift that keeps on giving…for a whole lot longer than anything superficial.
If you don’t believe it, then go give a compliment to a complete stranger that does something that amazes you. The happiness becomes contagious for all involved. And that’s awesome! As well as a reminder that everyone counts!
p.s. On an ironic note, this commercial was made for the Canadian broadcast of the biggest football game of the year. Yeah, that’s why I wrote the first paragraph the way I did.
