What we do in life echoes in eternity’-Gladiator

It was like watching a movie that opens your eyes, lifts your soul, and touches your heart. Throughout the movie you have tears of joy and you feel inspired. In the movies, we see our hero progress, strive, and endure his way through a path towards his final encounter. The ending is set as he faces his ultimate test. We then see what the hero is really made of. The test shows the essence of his character, who he is inside, and how he conducts himself on the outside in his life. We love to see the hero have an epic battle against tremendous odds and then being able to find a way through. At the end, the hero is congratulated by the ones who believed in him and his loved ones. It makes for a beautiful moment. However, in this case this wasn’t a movie, it just happened on Sunday. A real uplifting story with a hero who is a real life person. I can’t help but to have tears of joy and inspiration fill my heart and soul as I have just seen Lleyton Hewitt win his 2nd title of 2014 with a 6-3 6-7 7-6 against someone who he has had trouble with in the past.

 

Legends are created with something inside. A great fire which comes from within. Lleyton Hewitt is a gladiator, an ultimate warrior, a living legend. He is the ultimate professional. Hewitt has just won his 30th career singles title in Newport, RI at the Tennis Hall of Fame. He faced Goliath Ivo Karlovic who he had never beaten on grass and has a 1-4 win and loss record against. All that changed this afternoon. Hewitt begin the challenge, faced it, and rose in triumph. He fell to his knees and lifted his arms toward the heavens in victory. He set out with the goal of winning this tournament and now he has conquered it. He just gave his everything out there and showed tremendous courage, fire, and heart. Karlovic can be mentally tough to play because he takes away your rhythm, your timing. He has such a big serve, if you ever lose your serve, you can lose the match. Hewitt, remained mentally tough and focused like he has done throughout his whole career. He remained positive and just kept trying. Lleyton in this match and in his career has shown how disciplined and motivated he is. He is determined to get the absolute best out of himself each and every day in his life. That is a rare and admirable trait in a person. Lleyton already has a Hall of Fame resume for what he has been able to do on the court. He just added to it today. He should also be remembered for who he is as a human being. He is a humble champion, a family man, who believes in his purpose and uses his iron will to fulfill it. Lleyton has displayed throughout his career as someone who has a strong moral compass that includes humility, passion, and integrity. Proud of who he is as a person and proud of his work ethic as a professional.

“And if what that man did in his life makes the blood pulse through the body of others and makes them believe deeper in something that’s larger than life, then his essence, his spirit, will be immortalized by the storytellers.-Ultimate Warrior

A Hall of Fame resume which includes over 600 wins. 30 titles, 2 grand Slams, and two years being the #1 player in the world. Hewitt has always had tremendous courage, fire, and heart. We can look and say Hewitt is prime example of someone that always was a positive person who followed and lived with his heart on his sleeve. He is disciplined and motivated to get the absolute best out of himself each and every day in his life. He believes in his purpose and uses his iron will to live his life. He is a winner, he is a legend and Legends are forever.

 

“Something that ain’t running and ain’t backin’ up and is hittin’ on you and you’re too damn tired to breathe… you find that situation on you, that’s good, ’cause that’s Baptism Under Fire! You get through that, and you find the only kind of respect that matters in this world: Self-Respect-Rocky Balboa (film)

The media is always quick to write him off, when he doesn’t do well and of all the injuries he has had. He could walk away and no one would think less of them. There will be memories turned into stories of how this Aussie did remarkable things. We are lucky to be able to still see an athlete out there grinding his way through opponents and tournaments week in and week out. If you watch Hewitt compete you can tell he loves tennis. He loves the battle. He isn’t out there for the money, but to simply be the best version of himself. Hewitt always has had many challenges standing in front him. Whether it be his opponents or those nagging injuries one thing is for sure Hewitt will not back away from anything. He will, will his way through them. Todays victory against Ivo should not only signify who Lleyton Hewitt is, but it will also show his endurance as a a humble champion. His victory will be celebrated by the honor and respect he deserves..self-respect.
