Hershel Walker and I at the Olympics

I got to meet Hershel Walker back in 1992 at the Albertville Winter Olympics. I was competing in the luge and Hershel was competing in the bobsled. Back then Hershel was playing football for the Washington Generals.

Hershel tells a story about the only two things you ever need to worry about in life…

“There are only two things in life you really have to worry about..

Whether you are going to stay healthy or whether you are going to get sick. If you are going to stay healthy, you really do not have anything to worry about. But, if you are going to get sick, then you have two new things to worry about..

Whether you are going to get better or whether you are going to get worse. If you are going to get better, you do not have anything to worry about. But, if you are going to get worse, then you have two new things to worry about..

Whether you are going to live or whether you are going to die. If you are going to live, you do not have anything to worry about. But, if you are going to die, you have two new things to worry about..

Whether you are going to heaven or whether you are going to hell. If you are going to heaven, you do not have anything to worry about. But, if you are going to hell, you have something new to worry about and for a long, LONG time!”
