Week #196 – Make a Lane! (Dedicated to Sean Young, HHS Class of 1992)<\/strong><\/p>\n

This week\u2019s post\u00a0comes on the heels of losing one of Rob’s classmates\/teammates from back home.<\/p>\n

To the family and friends of Sean Young (Hopatcong High School Class of 1992)\u00a0\u2014 my heart is with you. There are no words that can make sense of nor satisfy the emptiness of the grief you are facing today…or in the days, weeks, or years ahead. \u00a0It is a permanent, deep, and lonely place. \u00a0It is forever…and it is heart breaking. \u00a0I am so sorry.<\/p>\n

To everyone else, I’m reminded of a football term. \u00a0One of Sean’s teammates immediately remembered Sean’s ability to “make a lane” for him to run the ball. \u00a0Sure, it’s the ball-carrier who often gets all the glory…but any good running back knows it’s his offensive line that makes the real magic happen:<\/span><\/p>\n

Wall-to-wall bodies…and then suddenly, an opening!<\/span><\/p>\n

Your Happyness Challenge\u00a0for the week ahead:\u00a0Make a lane! \u00a0<\/strong>Do you know someone who is facing a wall of opposition? \u00a0Big, massive, seemingly immovable obstacles that are preventing him or her from moving forward? \u00a0Maybe even actively working against them?<\/span><\/p>\n

Make a lane. \u00a0Connect, support, encourage, move mountains if you can.<\/span><\/p>\n

And above all…love on one another!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Spread Happyness \u2014 Make a Lane! \u00a0And share your thoughts in the comments.<\/p>\n
