Dear Messi

38.

You came.

You saw.

You are still conquering.

38 years ago.

What your parents had was nothing that resembled greatness.

A dwarffff. A child who should never ever be allowed to go play out in the pitch.

Your grandmother thought contrary.

Your grandmother told your parents to allow you go kicking football.

Kicking…

“But he has no legs”.

“His legs are like those of a tortoise”.

But grandma insisted…

“Let him play…”

At age 11 they finally found a name for why you looked like a tortoise.

They discovered you were suffering from growth hormone deficiency (GHD), a condition that affected your physical development and stature, making you shorter than average.

This condition was diagnosed when you were 11 years old.

2 years later…you were signed into La Masia (Barca’s Academy).

Now…

How come a human who came into this world with legs like tortoise become a player Barca so desperately wanted to sign at 13?

At 13 you joined FC Barcelona’s youth academy, La Masia.

You moved to Barcelona from Argentina with your family, and the club helped with treatment of the disease . And you quickly rose through the ranks of the youth system.

Question.

Why is it that it’s the player with deformity requiring treatment that would go all the way to become the greatest player of all time?

God is great.

God just really wanted to prove a point.

And God did.

Today we are inspired.

We can be anything.

We can be the greatest regardless of our condition.

Someone out there is saying “I am poor. I can’t have the best business or company of my dreams”.

Another one is there saying “I am too weak. I can’t make it in this tough industry I found myself”.

Whatever your excuse, remember. God made a “dwarffff with legs like tortoise” become the Greatest Player Of All Time.

Nothing is impossible.
