Play the entire game and add it all up at the end.
This is a mantra we’d all stand to benefit from.
Too often when we think we are “behind” it knocks us off our balance and bruises our ego. We throw our hands up and say, “What’s the point? I’ll never win.”
What is “winning” anyway?
Is it the physical prize at the end or is it the incalculable growth we made by pushing ourselves outside our comfort zone and into a new dimension of learning?
Far too often we are disappointed with the perceived “L” but fail to recognize it’s priming us for something bigger and better up ahead.
All of these reps are going to pay off for us, eventually.
We may not win this leg of the race but rest assured we’ll be prepared for the next.
Don’t give up before the race is over.
