Playing In The
Game of Love
|
|
|
|
The game of love is quite similar to the
games we have been playing on the field for years, yet we often choose to
hold back when it comes to love, rather than playing full out. But why?
Children as young as two years old know about playing full out and are
taught the basic concept of soccer. It's a simple idea to follow: Find
the ball, kick the ball and make contact with the net. As simple as it
is, though, a child will take it to the next level as they run as fast as
possible to get that ball. Even if no one has told them, they know and
they do it. Most of the time they are so focused on running, that they
ignore their positions altogether. But in the end, what you see in their
smiling faces, is that it isn't about winning at
all, but about playing...full out. Even our lives at that age were played
like a game. Remember when the boxes were as fun as the presents and the
bus ride as fun as the trip itself? What happened to those days as we
became adults? When did the end result become the only thing that mattered?
And when did we decide that the game of love couldn't be fun? With a
little refocusing, you can learn to enjoy the journey and be less focused
on the final score.

How often do you say you're going to try
to do something, rather than simply doing it? Perhaps you have tried to
lose weight, quit smoking, or even tried to become a happier person. What
if it wasn't your lack of effort at all, but simply your choice of words
that has sabotaged your efforts? The fact that you have chosen to try,
has actually given you an excuse to fail. Merely committing to the
attempt and not the goal, keeps you safe from failing. Well, at least
you tried, right? Not really. If you really want to achieve your
goal, exclude the word trying from your vocabulary and stick to the
facts. Think about Shaq in an important game of
the season. There are two minutes left and his team has to score. He
knows the play and is planning to go for a lay-up. Do you think he says,
"I'm going to try to do a lay-up?" What would that even look
like? Instead, he knows what he is going to do and commits to it.
Whatever happens after that, happens, but the
point is that he lives into the positive of what he wants to achieve and
sets his sights on it. How about you? Are you someone who is constantly
trying? Or are you the one that always achieves? If you find yourself
stuck in the same futile attempts, change your vocabulary a little and
see what happens.
