NFL Rushing Record. 16, 743 yards of Persistence Emmitt Smith He wasn’t as flashy as Walter Payton or Barry Sanders, and he never possessed true break-away speed. But his strength lay in his ability to persist– he just kept on running. That’s 9. 5 miles! It has taken him 13 years to run only 9. 5 miles. Lots of people run that in one day. The big difference is, they don’t have 11 huge defensive players trying to take their heads off when they ran! Emmitt’s average run over those 9. 5 miles was 4. 3 yards at a time. That means he has been tackled and knocked down 3, 983 times. 6

Finish the Race 14

Gita 2/15 15

Lost their Passion “Never lag in zeal but serve with enthusiasm. ” Many long time devotees have fallen in a rut and lost the passion to be the best for the Lord. “Don’t be surprised who goes but who stays. ” 16

Let me Challenge you. . . Don’t ever give up. Show enemy you are more determined. to go back to Godhead than she is to have you stay. You are standing on Krishna’s promises. Know those promises are true & show Krishna your answer is on the way. 17
