Everyone loves comeback stories. There is something in us that root for the person who seemingly has no chance. A person that comes to mind was a former professional basketball player named Muggsy Bogues. Muggsy is one of those people who seem to have no chance. It is extremely rare for anyone to make it to the NBA and to play for 14 years. The most unique thing about Muggsy is that he was the shortest player in NBA history standing tall at 5 foot 3 inches.

“I just took advantage of what God gave me and learned how to use the body I have to the best of my ability. If God would’ve made 6-feet, I would’ve taken advantage of that height as well. I don’t think anything would’ve changed in terms of my approach to the game, but I probably would’ve been a little more dominant! But that’s neither here nor there. I never get caught up in the “what ifs.” I just worked with what God gave me, and I always felt good about my size and who I was. I never had any hang-ups about it” (Muggsy Bogues).

He said his secret was to use what God gave him and not get caught up in the “what ifs.” That is an important thing for all of us to remember. We all have some aspect of our lives or our bodies that we are tempted to think, “what if” that was different. Having this mindset is to walk in the peace God gives.

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." John 14:27
