If you know the truth I am a big fan of sports but typically don’t watch until the end of the season. The big games are my favorite. The question is what about all the other games? The ones that got us here?
In life you have to play all the games if you want to get to the SHOW! If you want the Super Bowl ring you have to play preseason and then must play all the regular season games too. If you do well you make the playoffs and then and only then you have a shot to play in the big game.
So my system that works great for a spectator doesn’t work well at all for those who play. I encourage you to be playing the game called life every day. Here are a couple of reasons.
The losses seam to be easier to take when we know that next week or tomorrow is another game. Sure we get torqued and mad when we loose and we should. It should drive us to perform better. But the game isn’t over til you meet your maker. I hope you have that settled but that’s a topic for another day.
The games of each day keep us engaged and moving the ball forward. You need to keep score. How are you doing? Are you using the TEAM approach (together everyone achieves more/miracles)? I hope so – if not here is a tool that might help (of course its mine) http://ow.ly/12lJB .
The wins push you to move to the next level and celebrate along the way. Its great to win and celebrate. Each day find a win and celebrate it. Be careful not to celebrate a daily win like you just won the Super Bowl. Make your celebrations correlate with your wins.
The practice of each day leads to better performance. In between each game is practice. Drills that make the whole thing seam like a carefully orchestrated symphony. I trust you have this part covered. Think about this…those who practice are paid EXTREMELY WELL….Doctors, Athletes, Lawyers, Musicians, Actors….they all practice. Please people please practice. Get better everyday – get paid more everyday. That isn’t the only reason though…you practice to become a master at your craft. So that the creator can say ahhh that one is well made and well played.
Enjoy the beauty that is yours today – go and grow. Go and give. May today be a day full of blessings for you.
Your Friend,
Benjamin
