By The 2 minute drill
Good Morning MOJO,
I was watching a little football yesterday and it’s interesting how 2 teams can play for 58 minutes, but in the end, most the time the game is decided by which team is best in the final 2 minutes. It is the team that can suck it up when they are beaten up and tired that end up being the winners.
Just like football, it’s the final 2 minutes that determine the winners and the losers at almost everything in life. Everything we do up until that last 2 minutes just keeps us in the game and gives us a chance to win. Well…we are in the final 2 minutes of 2008, and the winners of 2008 will be determined by what we do between now and the end of the year. I know everyone is tired and everyone needs a break…me too, but it’s those few who can dig deep, remain discipline and push through the pain that will finish up 2008 the winners. Now don’t’ get me wrong, I am all for spending time over the holidays with friends and family…I am all for having some fun, but I just see so many people take their foot off the gas at Thanksgiving and coast into the end of the year. And then once January 1st hits, they are at a dead stop. Then it’s really not until the middle or end of January before they are back into “game shape”.
As I said, I am for taking a couple of days off over Thanksgiving…taking a couple of days off over Christmas and taking a couple of days off over New Years, but I am not for taking off the entire 4th quarter of the game…I am up for finishing the game of 2008 strong. This applies to everything in life…from our jobs, to our health, to our spirituality, to our relationships…everything!!!!! The beautiful part is if you are one of the few who chose to finish the game of 2008 strong there will be a lot less competition…everyone else will be sleeping…everyone else will be taking the final 2 minutes off. And because there are a lot less people in the game in the final 2 minutes of the year, it makes it a lot easier to score.
Have a powerful week and finish 2008 STRONG!!!!!!!
