Keep Stacking Days!

Keep Stacking Days!

In the competitive and punishing world of the very competitive NBA in the United States, teams are allowed to have up to 15 regular players and up to 3 players on two-way deals [which means they are limited to play up to a max of 50 games and are excluded from any playoffs games.  With a team that deep enough, in every game, the NBA coaches will rotate up to a max of 9 to 10 players. That leaves around 5 to 8 either on the bench or are tagged as 'DNP' [did not play'].  YET, coaches keep encouraging the benchers to Keep Stacking Days!  And more importantly, they are encouraged to be ready AS IN ready anytime their number is called by the coach to come into the game.  And they're reminded to Keep Stacking Days📗📙📘

In our life, that competitiveness in the NBA comes into play every day as well.  LIKE when we're still in the academe and the class includes high-flyers, HOW can you stand out in the crowd?  That's to KEEP STACKING DAYS.  WHEN your name is called OR if there is a chance to 'show up', do 'show up' so that you'll be recognized.  LIKE when you're an upstart entrepreneur just having your startup business in one corner of a busy mall.  HOW can people recognize a relative unknown in the market?  WHEN a customer does come to you, DON'T leave a single stone unturned to impress upon the customer that they made the right choice WHEN they patronized either your product OR your service.  LIKE when you're a novice in the organization and you're still an 'UNKNOWN quantity' [especially to the bosses].  Etch your mark as much as you can and KEEP STACKING DAYS💥💥💥

LIKE when you finally got married and settled down, WHAT happens after the honeymoon?  Reality sinks, right?  So WHAT do we need to do?  KEEP STACKING DAYS.  Those days WHEN the stars were always aligned in your favor, mark those days in the calendar.  WHEN you become a wheeler-dealer with customers, you get embroiled into no holds barred 'give and take'.  KEEP STACKING DAYS✅✅✅

To KEEP STACKING DAYS also means that during those situations WHERE you gave in OR acquiesced to someone's wishes OR request, create that VIRTUAL GOODWILL ACCOUNT where you simply list down every single time you gave in as an ACT OF GOODWILL.  And that will be like your savings account where your deposits keep piling up [even in drips and drops]😌😌😌

Our takeaway:  Our journey, our interactions will NOT always run on paved, smooth roads and highways.  Sometimes [OR maybe many times] there will be potholes OR even gaping holes that will spoil your journey and that will cause you to eventually lose your momentum.  BUT if during the early stretches of your journey, you were able to reinforce your motivation, the temporary threat to your journey's momentum can be pre-empted by your motivation that has piled up when you KEPT STACKING DAYS.  So WHAT happens if you're on a losing streak?  Same story dude.  Dip into your GOODWILL ACCOUNT and clutch to those flickering hopes that will keep your head at the very least above water level [so that you DON'T get drowned].  KEEP STACKING DAYS dude❗❗❗
