When's Your BEST GAME? Only In FAIR WEATHER?

When's Your BEST GAME?  Only In FAIR WEATHER?

When's Your BEST GAME?  Only In FAIR WEATHER?  So, you might ask, how the hell I thought of this thread today?  Simple.  An hour ago, I watched the NBA Game 2 playoff game between the over-rated Boston Celtics versus the underdogs and severely undermanned Miami Heat.  And with their back against the wall [due to their Game 1 loss], Miami Heat turned things around by grabbing Game 2, thus steeling home advantage📗📙📘

So, the question that popped out in my mind was this.  WHEN IS YOUR BEST GAME?  Does it happen only in FAIR WEATHER?  Quite an interesting topic considering that many times in our lives, we are expected [either by default OR by setting goals] to perform at a certain level to lead us towards outcomes OR results at par with our pre-set goals.  BUT how often we come across situations WHEREIN we're we seem to be performing so well when the 'sun is shining and dandy???

Let's have a relevant analogy here.  As parents, HOW and WHEN do we make our presence felt?  Is it during shopping sprees?  During dine-outs?  During holidays?  HOW about when a family member is medically stricken with an illness?  HOW about when you were financially strapped and in dire financial straits, WHERE WERE you and HOW were you performing your responsibilities expected of you?  WHEN the storm comes raging, WHEN there is a heavy downpour, WHEN the floods have submerged half of the community, HOW were you, HOW was your performance as a person???

WHAT are the realities of life?  Emergencies.  State of panic.  Helplessness.  Bad situations turning from worse to worst.  Unexpected developments turning from positive to negative situations.  Accidents.  AOG [Acts of God, e.g. natural calamities].  Pandemic.  Regardless of the severity of the situation we are IN right now, it behooves that we should perform AT PAR regardless of the odds💥💥💥

Our takeaway:  Please allow me to piggy-back on that old cliche Let us always PREPARE FOR THE RAINY DAYS [because the sun is NOT always shining and dandy].  In the roller coaster and rough and tumble journey in life, WHAT becomes more crucial is HOW we PERFORM and/or DELIVER during the most challenging phases in our life. True, your best performances during FAIR WEATHER will count BUT remember, human nature tells us that we tend to vividly remember more your SLIP-UPs?  So, let's 'UP THE ANTE' even way beyond just fair weather❗❗❗
