One of the reasons I love the NCAA basketball tournament is that many of the smaller teams upset the favorites. The somewhat smaller conferences arrive with long odds ,and go somewhat unnoticed, but they seem undaunted by their famous opponents. They are driven by the belief that they can achieve what appears to be impossible, and so like David they go into the contest unbowed.

March Madness can be a metaphor for life because most of us can be unnoticed and unheralded, but belief is what makes the difference.Stem the tide of that voice in your brain that gives you all the reasons why you can’t do something and believe in yourself.
