No 'Hand of God' Here: Just Pure Planning!
Hola everyone! It's Leo Messi here and while I'm usually dribbling around defenders today I'm tackling the topic of success. Seems like everyone's talking about Quinta Brunson from 'Abbott Elementary' and her amazing run. Multiple Emmys a Golden Globe – that's like scoring a hat trick in the Champions League final! But what caught my eye is that she says it wasn't just luck. It was planned. As I always say 'You have to fight to reach your dream. You have to sacrifice and work hard for it.' And it looks like that is exactly what she did.
From Philadelphia to La La Land: A Transfer Worth the Wait
Brunson's journey reminds me a bit of my own. Leaving Rosario for Barcelona moving across the world to chase a dream. She left Philadelphia worked at an Apple Store (talk about a career change!) and eventually landed in Los Angeles. That's some serious dedication! She had a vision just like when I see an opening on the field and know exactly where to place the ball. 'Sometimes you have to accept that you can't win all the time,' I say but you sure can plan to give it your best shot!
Vision Boards: The Secret Weapon?
This neuroscientist Tara Swart talks about vision boards and how they can rewire your brain. That's fascinating! It's like visualizing the perfect pass before you even make it. Seeing the goal before you score it. Maybe I need to make a vision board for my next free kick... or maybe just keep practicing. But seriously this idea of priming your brain to seize opportunities? That's genius!
Luck? 'I Don't Believe In It'
Brunson says she doesn't call herself lucky. And you know what? I respect that. I always say 'I start early and I stay late day after day year after year. It took me 17 years and 114 days to become an overnight success'. I have dedicated my life to this sport and luck had nothing to do with it. Every goal every assist every trophy is the result of hard work dedication and yes a little bit of that 'Messi magic' which comes from relentless effort.
Stress Less Score More
Apparently visualizing your goals can also reduce stress. Now that's something I could use before a penalty shootout! Imagine calmly slotting the ball into the net feeling no pressure at all... Okay maybe that's a bit too much to ask. But the idea is solid. Reduce fear embrace opportunities and who knows maybe even score the 'goal of the century'.
Beyond the Field: Life's a Pitch!
So whether you're aiming for an Emmy a Golden Globe or just a better career remember Quinta Brunson's story. Have a vision work hard and don't leave it to chance. As I always say 'The best decisions aren't made with your mind but with your instinct'. And sometimes that instinct tells you to plan ahead! Now if you'll excuse me I have a field to conquer. 'Vamos!'

Brunson is a genius, period.
