Are You Playing The Same Sport?

 

Nope, WHEN I asked ARE YOU PLAYING THE SAME SPORT, I DIDN'T mean it literally [because it's possible you DON'T have any sport] BUT instead, I'm drawing a parallelism here with our directions in life.  WHAT keeps you busy in life?  WHAT goals are you focused to achieve?  WHAT is your own preferred 'destination' for you to proclaim you have achieved success?  Exactly my point here.  So, ARE YOU PLAYING THE SAME SPORT?  Are you into commercial forays in a startup small-scale business [WHEN you DON'T have even that slightest motivation to kick your ass hard enough and grind to the limits, working and stretching your effective work hours way beyond the typical 8x5 office-based work💜💛💚

HOW often we heard these rumblings around:

WHY am I in this job WHICH I hate?

WHAT explains I ended up in this startup?

WHY am I enrolled in this course I DON'T want?

WHAT happened WHY I ended up in this event?

WHY do I have to grind WHEN I DON'T like this?

WHAT influenced me to develop this skill I hate?

WHY should I work on this WHEN I wanted to pursue a different vocation???

In the world of competitive sports WHERE one has to invest enormous time and effort, NOT to mention sacrifices, it's just a NO-NO for you to be aspiring to be part of the next NBA annual draft pool WHEN all you wanted was to harness your skills as a woodpusher WHO can be the next Magnus Carlsen?  OR you might end up in physical sports WHEN your passion's very core was eSports and no more than that???

SO HOW?  Frankly, this all boils down to plotting one's direction in life.  Regardless WHETHER you are in your 30s, 40s OR fresh from graduating from the university, OR just retired, trying to figure out your new direction in life can be tough.  This is also relevant if you are living a life you're NOT satisfied with and hope to change your life's direction.  This reminds me of two words that keeps ringing in my ears:  TAKE ACTION💥💥💥

Our takeaway:  NOW, WHAT ails some of us that stops us from taking action?  Yes, it is spelled F-E-A-R.  WHEN we're scared of messing up, scared of things NOT working out, OR scared of realizing that WHAT they thought was the 'right direction' ISN'T after all.  BTW, taking action DOESN'T mean you will get committed to that path forever.  NO Senor.  You can change your mind if it DOESN'T work out and that's great.  Bottomline is, you must be damn sure that you are still PLAYING THE SAME SPORT you really want to, in terms of desire and pursuit❗❗❗
