It has been a while since I have had the time to post, but after watching "The Wayman Tisdale Story" last night I felt inclined to share a few thoughts.  If you haven't seen this show or heard about it yet you owe it to yourself to take the 90 minutes out of your day to watch it.....you won't regret it. 

This show is so much more than the life of a basketball player and accomplished musician.  Tisdale's story is about overcoming adversity in the face of huge obstacles.  It is a tale of his courage, optimism, positive attitude and zest for life.  Wayman Tisdale proved to be a role model for us all and he teaches us that no matter what challenges one might face there is always something positive that can be taken away from those experiences. 

I was blown away by how upbeat and positive Tisdale was after being diagnosed with cancer.  His smile was contagious to all of those he came in contact with.  If you don't walk away after watching this program with a better appreciation for life you might not be human :)

Here is a link to the CD/DVD and a short video trailer.

This quote sums up his life:  "You can never give up because quitting is not an option. No matter how dark it is or how weak you get, until you take that last breath, you must fight.” ~ Wayman Tisdale (1964-2009)
