Respect to Messi for exercising the power of restraint!
In a world & existence that seemingly entice you to react, often from a place of tethered emotion, the power of restraint is an unsung hero........
"We have heard that there is a variety of powers in this world. There is monetary power, muscular power, political power, social power, intellectual power, and a variety of these things – but these are all external to the wielder of the power. In some cases, they are only foisted upon a person. But the powers of great masters like Bhagavan Sri Krishna Dvaipayana Vyasa are not adjectives to their existence. They are not their qualifications. They are their very presence.
Self-restraint is itself a power because of the fact that all the avenues of depletion of energy get transmuted into the very existence of the saint or the seeker or the sage, and the channels through which energy moves out in the direction of things and objects in the world get melted down, as it were, in the menstruum of self-control. Things become the very subject, the very meditator, the contemplator, the beholder, the visualiser of themselves.
Weakness is the effect of the transferring of our being to something other than what we are. The more you think of things other than what you are, the weaker are also your sense organs, your mind, your intellect. People have a wrong notion that they become stronger by the possession of a larger quantum of things in the world. Rather, the greater is your possession, the weaker is your personality. The more is your property, the weaker you are. It is a weak person that requires property. The weaker you are, the greater is your desire to own things in the world. The stronger you are, the lesser is the need of any kind in this world."
--Swami Krishnananda Saraswati
Anmar Al Haili (Al-Ittihad Club President): "We actually contacted Messi when his contract in Paris ended. We presented him with an offer of 1.4 billion euros and 88 million euros annually, but the player refused because his family wanted America. It was a surprise how the player could refuse such a huge offer for the sake of his family. It was possible to convince his family, but he did not hesitate to refuse. We respect this, as family is more important than money.”

11th September 2016, and Roma are losing 2-1 to Sampdoria. Due to very heavy rain, the game was suspended for over an hour. All players, coaches, and substitutes went back to the changing room, to shelter from the rain until it dried up enough to continue playing their game. All, except one player; Francesco Totti.
Totti, through the hours heavy downpour, warmed up, stretched and ran.
When the match restarted, Totti took to the field, making a decisive pass to create goal for his teammate; Roma were level at 2-2. Then, in the last minute, Totti scored and Roma won 3-2.
All storms will pass. No matter how much something disrupts you, keep to your core values and behaviours and you’ll be fully prepared when it subsides.
Totti is the most capped Roma player and has scored the most goals in their history. Why has he been such a success? It’s because he was willing to do the work no one else was, and was prepared to commit with effort and make effective choices when no one was watching.
The hard work you put in during the heavy downpour, will show itself when the sun is out.
💛🦁

Lionel Messi, the Argentine football sensation with a net worth of $130 million, has made a lavish $10.8 million purchase of a stunning waterfront mansion in Fort Lauderdale, as reported by The Real Deal news.
Messi acquired the property jointly with his wife, Antonella Roccuzzo.
The mansion, a sprawling 10,500-square-foot, eight-bedroom estate located in Fort Lauderdale’s Bay Colony, was bought through a company led by Messi’s wealth manager, Alfonso Nebot, as confirmed by records.
Messi’s arrival at Inter Miami in July marked a significant moment in his career, and he has since led the team to eight wins and four draws.
The Argentine superstar has been actively exploring real estate options across South Florida, ranging from Fort Lauderdale to Boca Raton.
Messi, who clinched the World Cup championship for Argentina last year, is currently on his way to Bolivia to participate in the second round of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
The property, located at 91 Compass Lane, was sold to Messi and Roccuzzo by John and Stacy Dickerson for $10.8 million. Notably, the Dickersons had purchased the estate for $9 million just 16 months earlier, representing a 20% increase in price.

As the Copa América final draws near, the excitement is palpable. For Colombians, this tournament signifies more than just sports; it embodies our national pride, love for the game, and faith in our team.
Watching my daughters root for our players, I see parallels between fanatical football support and high-performing sales teams:
✨ Unwavering Belief:
Just as we trust our team to win, salespeople must believe in their product, company, and skills. This unwavering faith drives them forward, overcoming obstacles.
💪 Relentless Pursuit of Victory:
Similar to the tough journey to the final, sales is a rollercoaster. Like Colombian fans, salespeople must persistently chase success, staying focused on their objectives.
🤝 Power of Teamwork:
Winning Copa América requires a united team. Sales, too, thrives on collaboration and support, rather than individual efforts.
🎉 Celebration of Success:
When Colombia triumphs, we celebrate dedication and belief. Sales achievements also merit enthusiastic recognition for surpassing goals.
Let's embrace the spirit of football fandom in our sales approach. With belief, determination, teamwork, and celebration, we can all achieve greatness. 🏆
VAMOS CON TODA COLOMBIAAAA!!!!! 💪🏼💪🏼
