For the Love of the Game

Why do you play?  For the love of the game??  It's not wrong to want more: fame; fortune; a Super Bowl ring; but pure intentions begin with love.  

What's the difference between two players who have the same innate skill level?  If you acquired your skill through the love of the game, it's stronger than if you are playing only to make it to "the show", as they say in Bull Durham.  You can't hide your intentions from yourself.

I love the story of the Mannings.  Archie and Olivia rock!  Rory Karpf who directed the ESPN documentary about them, was quoted in the New York Post saying,"You realize that Archie didn’t put pressure on his kids. I think as parents sometimes, whether we mean to or not, we do put pressure. He just gave his kids unconditional support and love.”  That says a lot, right??

Your game doesn't have to be sports, it can be the game of life.  We all need to start from a place of love.  Do you love the person that you are, if not, why not?  I love myself.  I also love my friends and family, my home, my routines.  When I'm aligned, it's a love fest for me.  Love doesn't translate to believing I'm perfect.  In fact, it's the opposite.  I love myself unconditionally: today only, imperfections are included at no additional charge.

If you haven't been supportive of yourself lately, get back in the game.  And if you don't know how to be loved unconditionally, ask the Archie and Olivia if they are open to adopting;)  Cooper, Peyton, Eli, and (your name here), that sounds like a nice Christmas card!!

Have a wonderful day!!
