This weekend there were several college bowl games, and the two that I
watched were the Fiesta Bowl and the Rose Bowl. Both of these games were
the epitome of competition. Each was played to the last minute possible,
and then when you think it's over, it goes into overtime. I need to
remember that it's not over until it's over. Like in football, you can
work hard for every yard, keep your feet moving, wrap yourself around an
obstacle and take it down, and ultimately reach the goal... or not I need to use every play in the play book and
not give up until that final whistle blows. All four teams were exhausted
by the time it was over. They worked hard, and even though, for two of
those teams, it didn't turn out the way they had hoped, they all played an
awesome game and should be proud of their efforts.
I love football, and this year I will do my best to score! I need
to push past what I think is the end of a project, task or idea and take it
into overtime. I know it's all a little cliché,
and I'm okay with that.
Natalie I agree, too many times we are spectators in our own game. All too often we assume what the end result will be and don't take action. I always try to persevere even if it appears it will be a blow out. I think a lot of what holds us back is fear and sometimes when the end result is all we see that can be scary. Each yard to me would be the equivalent of each moment necessary to move us down the field and closer to reaching our goals. Never, should we give up on ourselves because something seems out of our reach. We may not win every game but there is a lesson in the loosing that will make the win all the bigger. Play Ball!!!
