One would think that leading a football team to a national title victory would give a sense of satisfaction and celebration. But Urban Meyer, former coach of NCAA football champs the Florida Gators, was depressed and empty after his team won the 2008 title. According to an interview from ESPN:

Meyer said after Florida won the national title after the 2008 season he didn't—and couldn't—enjoy the victory. He began recruiting literally minutes after the 24-14 win over Oklahoma in the BCS title game ended. "I was in a panic situation," Meyer said. "We just won it. We got to do it again. I close the door. And I started just recruiting. One of my friends came and said, 'What are you doing?' He said, 'Enjoy, what's wrong with you, man? Enjoy this.' I tried."

The context? Profound stress, including Meyer's hospitalization for unexplained chest pains. I'm not saying that in Meyer's case his stress and overwork outright prevented him from celebrating a victory, but isn't it interesting that even at the high moment of this man's career, he was unable to pause even long enough to look around and enjoy the moment?

Possible Preaching Angle:

How many of us are so fixated on our goals, insecurities, or futures that we cannot the joy of the present, the sacred moments where Jesus meets us now, and asks us to rejoice with him?
