There is a saying, “you get what you need when you need it”. I think of it as synchronicity and power flow. When you need it, it will come. Always. Always. Well, today is no exception and when I saw this video…the timing was perfect. All week there has been excitement and news about the World Cup going on in South Africa. There are excited fans and just a sense of comraderie in the air with others who share the love of the sport of soccer.
Well, life is sort of the same. We are all playing the “game” and are constantly winning, losing or learning lessons that take us to the next round. Many times we have to get up, dust ourselves off and start over again. Somedays we don’t have the energy to move forward with our goals and we have to sit with them and wait until the next wave of energy or direction comes, then we can get back on track.
As the video so aptly states Failure is NOT important. The fact is, in many instances, it can be one of the greatest of life’s lessons. There are days, moments, minutes, weeks when we feel like what we are doing is not working. Our goals don’t seem to be clear and we have lost sight of what it was we were aiming for in the first place. That is the time we step back and just take inventory. Go deeply within ourselves and question what it is we really are trying to accomplish or achieve. The one thing to keep in mind during these times of self evaluation is that we are NOT failing. We are winning. We are winning at facing this journey of life. And we are PLAYERS. We are “in the game”.
So for now….let’s all enjoy the game of soccer and the game of life. Failure is not important…what you do to overcome it is!
