The Game Winning Shots Of Life
A few points in life you have to prove what you’re made of. The rare occasions that truly test you: a tragic loss, the last attempt in an important test, the assessment center for the job you really really want, the conversation that decides if you two divorce or not, the birth of your child, the day your best friend truly needs your support, ...
A few times in life you have to DELIVER.
These occasions are the switches of life: you either move in one direction or another; this path or that one; live that life or a slightly different one...
Sometimes in life delivering, making things happen, closing, finishing is ALL that counts - yet what makes ALL the difference for the future.
You could call these events:
the “Game Winners of Life” - the final free throws, match points, and auditions of destiny.
Now or never - here - it counts. “Do or die” - as they say.
You’ll know when you face one of these moments. You’ll know what to do when you do. You’ll know why to give your absolute best then.
Here are the only pieces of advice I can give you (in case you think back to this post when the time is right):
- Try to see them as your time to shine. As your stage, your World finals, your chance to shape your life.
- It will be about YOU. Not the excuses, not the support, not the circumstances, not the time, rules or tools, ... YOU will make it happen, or YOU don’t.
- Face them with optimism. If you lose faith you’ve already lost.
- Accept to face this now in order to eventually make it all the way.
- Just to be honest: in those moments, YOU will be all you have.
Best of luck for these lonely days, dark nights and exhausting events.
