"When something happens you have a choice: you can
let it fuel you or let it rule you."
The soccer season for school is very long. It is at least
2 months, if not more because of post and pre-season. During that time people
can get on one another's nerves. As well as, problems are bound to come up
whether they are soccer related or not. During these times I came up with a
saying for not only my players but myself as well. When something happens to
you, you have a choice: you can let it fuel you or rule you.
If we lose a game really badly: we can wallow in self-pity, blame, the refs,
blame the other team, and many other things; or we can choose to think
"I'm not going to let this define me. I'm going to work harder and do
better next time."
If you have a problem in life it is the same thing. If
you messed up on a big project at work and your boss yelled at you, you have a
choice. You can choose to yell back at your boss, quit, vent to a co-worker,
sulk, or many other things. Or, you can work harder to improve and do better
next time. The choice is up to you.
So, when something happens will you let it fuel you or
let it rule you? Will you choose to improve when you make a mistake? How can
you reflect God's glory today?
