Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl winner Harrison Butker recently told students that success and money have far less meaning than getting married and having a family.
But in the end, no matter how much money you attain, none of it will matter if you are alone and devoid of purpose. As someone raised in a family of overachievers, success was expected. And as a young man, I found happiness in being celebrated for my worldly achievements. My inner desire to be celebrated manifested academically through long hours of studying and of course, riding the curve. That desire was pushed further by the many successes I attained playing here on the flats.
All of you are here today because you are smart, capable and hardworking people. But if we’re being honest, the world is filled with miserable, smart, capable and hardworking people. There are too many examples to list of people who have achieved great worldly success and fleeting happiness, but in the end are unfulfilled. Now, don’t get me wrong, I want you to be successful.
Butker urged the students to “use today as an opportunity to take stock of your mission. Our culture is suffering. We all see it.”It doesn’t matter which political persuasion you sit on or whether you are a person of deep faith or not. Anyone with eyes can see that something is off. Studies have shown one of the many negative effects of the pandemic is that a lot of young adults feel a sense of loneliness, anxiety and depression, despite technology that has connected us more than ever before.
The player said the most important ring he’s ever earned was his wedding band, not his Super Bowl ring. “And the truth is,” he continued, “none of these accomplishments mean anything compared to the happiness I have found in my marriage and in starting a family.”My confidence as a husband and father and yes, even as a football player, is rooted in my marriage with my wife.
