Motivational Friday

Know the person you want to be and then become them.

So many of us become inspired by movie characters and athletes we see on TV. But that type of inspiration never lasts. We want to become them, or be like them, and we try to do that, usually for a short amount of time. But then we give up and return to our old ways. Why is this? Because we do not study them in-depth and we tried to change everything overnight and not progressively. The right way to do it. Write down your favorite traits, habits and styles from the top 5 people who you admire. And then take the best from each of them and over time become a person of those habits. We all have the power of who we want to become and envision, but it requires hard work and discipline. 

Motivational Thursday

A bird sitting on a tree is never afraid of the branch breaking, because it’s trust is not on the branch but on it’s own wings. Always believe in yourself. 

If you literally don’t believe in yourself then you better call it quits because you will fail. How in the world do you expect others to believe in you when you don’t even believe in yourself? It’s a simple concept that a lot of people don’t realize. 

Let me tell you something….when I started this whole “bobblehead” passion, I had no clue what I was doing. I did know one thing though, I believed in myself. And I sit here today wanting more out of myself and I know I can do it. Believe in yourself and prosper to be the BEST!

Bobble of the Day “Larry Bird”

Bobble of the Day

Player: Larry Bird

Team: Boston Celtics

Year: 2014

Manufacturer: Forever Collectibles

Ever since FOCO came out with these “newspaper” base bobbles, I’ve had a chubby. They are much more unique than the regular square or rectangle base. Plus, it’s a newspaper which means the player standing on top made headlines. 

Who doesn’t miss Larry Legend battling Magic, Jordan and Barkley on a nightly basis? The guy is still living Legend and this particular bobble represents how good he was. The base reads, “Celtics on up! Bird completes 1986 MVP Season with title and Finals MVP”. 

I love the vintage uniform with Celtic green and the home white uniform. Larry’s got the hiked up 80’s style shorts and the striped green tall socks. In one hand he’s holding the 86 Finals MVP trophy and in the other is the actual Finals trophy. 

 

 

Sniper Rating: I would assume any manufacturer who tries to create a bobble of Larry would have a difficult time designing the face and hair. Larry Bird has different features to his face and wavy, floppy blond hair which is hard to replicate. I think for the most part, FOCO did okay with this one. The hair is a bit to high and somehow they could have made his face a little bit older. I’m super critical on this one because I’m a C’s fan but overall it’s a good representation of Larry. 

Hard to come bobble of one of the greats, Larry and his historical 1986 season scores a 9.0
