What if you stay in the game?
I admit it. My hometown hosted the SuperBowl, and I was glued to the TV most of the evening last night. I was struck by two characteristics shared by both teams on the field: the desire to win, and the commitment to play full out, despite all circumstance, until the game was over.
What if we could use that same drive to “win” as a motivator for reaching our own personal goals?
What if we stopped looking at the scoreboard, and instead focused on the goals we have set in front of us?
What if we commit to staying in the game for as long as it takes to turn our vision into a reality?
“Difficult things take a long time, impossible things a little longer.” ~ André A. Jackson
P.S. In the post-game interviews, I heard one of the players (Greg Jennings) say, “It’s a great day to be great.” So true.
Be great. You’ve got “champion” written all over you…

Visualizing the goal is easy. Letting the ego go to the locker room and have faith in God and the universe guide the ball through the goal posts is the tough part. Believe with all your heart how great it will feel when you score.
