Sports and life

Whilst talking a friend of mine on how to overcome tough times we happened to be discussing sports and how it mirrors life at times. He mentioned how life had gotten to his sports activities as well. The fact is that life and sports are very much the same in many aspects. You have a chance to prove yourself out there just like in life. Sometimes decisions will go against us by the adjudicator and sometimes for us just like "luck" (call it fate luck or whatever you fancy) in life. Once we get back home from the sports arena we will notice that the result doesn't matter there because it's just you as a person and not as a sportsman in the house. You're laurels don't mean much as long as you have the basics in place i.e. food, shelter, family, morals, values etc. So don't let life get the better of you and take those away too. You have to be strong and focused. Like the sportsman who has had a bad outing he will always come back and train his weak points again and fortify his resolve too, to not let anything go wrong the next time. There will be a next time, there always is but you have to wait and be patient for that time. When the time is right, strike it and strike it hard.
