Play YOUR Game

At one point when I was playing tennis Friday, I rushed to hit a ball back across the net.  Nels reminded me to “Play your own game.  Take your time.  Don’t let anyone rush you.”   That hit me like a ton of bricks.   How many times have I rushed to make a decision, rushed to purchased the latest gadget, or even rushed to cross the street and then tripped and fell because of it?  Too many times to count.  I am always adjusting my “game,” my life, to accommodate or “keep up” with other people. 

Playing someone else’s game at the expense of my own has never gotten me anywhere I really wanted to be.  I’ve always ended up at a dead-end and wondering what the hell happened to my life.  I’m assuming some, if not all of you, have been there at one time or another.  So today, I’m taking the time to explore what I want for me and my life.  I’m giving myself the day to review my priorities and examine whether they really are MY PRIORITIES.  I invite you all to do the same.  You’re worth it!
