The Sport Of Life …Are You Playing To Win? By Phil Barnao At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

Do you show up for practice? That’s the question I’m asking you. What do you mean? I’m not on any sports you might reply. …Not so fast partner! You may not know it, but all of us (including you) are involved in sports.

Without exception we all play “The Sport of LIFE”...That includes every single one of us my friend! This game of life lasts until the time on the playing field of earth runs out. It is my personal belief that every single person has been created in the image and likeness of God and holds seeds of greatness deep inside of them, but it’s up to us to manifest them. It’s you responsibility to do so.

…On top of that, we are born to pursue this (greatness) so we can develop more to give back to others. You can’t give much from lack, it’s better to have an overflowing cup. We were meant to live in abundance in all areas.

There’s only one small problem >>>

Some folks play seriously and purpose to win, while others don’t even seem to have a clue they’re playing in the darn game. Imagine that…not showing up for the most important game you’re in => Life! If that’s you, it’s not always your fault, but either way the case in hand is that the game continues whether you know your playing or not.

So what makes some perform exceptionally well in this game while others seem to struggle just to get even one play completed…in short, what’s the difference?

Why are some people happy, successful and loving life, while others seem to be struggling like crazy in ALL areas?

The answer is ==> PRACTICE

Practice makes all the difference in the world. Good practice and preparation is essential to success. Practice is what allows you to perform with poise in the tough game situations like “when opportunity knocks in your life”.

I was watching interviews with some of the greatest NFL football players and one said that “practice is the struggle and the tough part that has to be done…it’s what put you in a position to win and through the preparation makes the game fun!” When practice (preparation) is good, the game gets easier.

So how do you practice for the game of life? “CREATE GOOD HABBITS”. Your habits will predict your future. The greatest wide receiver of all time Jerry Rice had the best habits and preparation of all wide receivers. High performance and good practice go hand in hand.

Take out a sheet of paper and write down all of your habits through each day for one week and at the end of the week evaluate them. You might be in for a BIG surprise.

…Then start creating habits like reading self improvement books, setting and reviewing goals, meditating on your dreams, making new and better relationships, challenging yourself more, taking advantage of opportunity and more, getting more spiritual, working out, eating healthy, etc.

Once you have your new habits down, it’s time to start working hard on them ONE AT A TIME so you don’t get overwhelmed. Then when you’re asked the question “Do you show up and push yourself in practice?” …you’ll reply absolutely, every day and just watch how the game of life gets easier!

Get Fired up about your future…nobody else is going to if you don’t! I’m backin you, when no one else believes in you. GO FOR IT!
