"I've Been Gifted. The World Is Full Of People Who Not Only Haven't Been Gifted, But Have Had Something

"I've been gifted. The world is full of people who not only haven't been gifted, but have had something taken away from them. All I have to do is see one of them, some little girl who can't walk, and then I don't think I'm such a hero anymore. I think that compared to them, I'm a very small article." -Bobby Orr Here I stand in the heart of the cathedral of hockey itself. The Esso Great Hall of The Hockey Hall of Fame. I wish Instagram could upload panoramic photos. Originally built in 1885, and home to all of the major NHL trophies we dreamed of hoisting as children. All three variations of Lord Stanley's cup exist here. The oldest, when decommissioned; painstakingly deconstructed piece by piece, flattened, and put on displayed in frame; like a body's ribs in medical textbook. Lithograph photos of the hall of fame players/coaches/announcers, line every surface, and I could spend a day wandering around just this room finding my hero's, and the legends I learned about growing up. The giant stained glass skylight illuminates everything with a warm glow. I know I'll be back. . . . . . . #finance #financialplanning #entrepreneur #workhardplayhard #hustle #travel #Toronto #hockey #hockeyhalloffame #nhl #leader #hero #blessed #thankful #legacy #canadian #canada #quotes #cathedral #stainedglass #humble (at Hockey Hall of Fame)
