"Don't leave a game with regrets."
In soccer one moment can mean the difference between
winning and losing. The choices players make in games greatly impact their team
and the result of the match. As a goalie, I know many times I look back at
games and think about what I could've done differently. I do my best every game
but mistakes are bound to happen because no one is perfect.
My players know that I don't expect them to be perfect.
But, I do expect them to play their best for their team. In order to do that,
we've adopted this saying that we don't leave a game with regrets. Will the
players get tired? Yes. Will they mess up? Yes. But, that doesn't mean that
they should regret the way they play unless they don't do their best and put
the effort in.
This quote can also apply to life. I believe we should
live our lives without regrets. You choose how hard you will work every day. As
long as you try to do your best every day it will be very difficult for you to
have regrets. Will your best look the same every day? It probably won’t,
because every day you won't feel 100%. Yet, you can still do your best.
Titus 2:7-8 says: "In everything set them an example
by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and
soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may
be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us." These verses
tell us that we are to be good examples to others. We know if we call ourselves
Christians all of our actions will be scrutinized by others. That's why we need
to do our best. We need to try to live our lives without regrets, not for us,
but so that God's glory is reflected in us.
So, are you living your life with regrets? How can you do
your best every day? How can you reflect God's glory today?
