1. LESSONS FROM THE GAMES

********************************************************

A few yrs ago we published this article, which got a lot of nods from subscribers. We are repeating it now in the spirit of the moment – the soccer WC finals of-course – and we have added a few lessons from it. Read the 2006 article from the link below; read the current lessons; and reflect. https://www.relationship-affairs.com/Let_Us_Relate_Newsletter-Lessons-from-soccer-world-cup.html

2010 lessons

1. Be in the moment – it does not matter that you are trailing behind hopelessly---do celebrate that goal when you get it! It does not matter that your opponents might come back and still win the game---do celebrate the goal, celebrate at that moment and forget about the possible end-result. Take each experience as the only one that matters, because it is.

2. Believe in miracles. You are never too small to make your mark. You are never too invisible to show significance. It does not matter what others think of you; grab every little opportunity and do your best with that. There is a saying that a wise man is the one who takes the bricks others have thrown at him and lays a foundation with them – the host country, my beautiful country, has done just that!

3. What goes around does have a tendency of coming around. Do remember that. Always play fair. Always be considerate.

4. At the end of it all, remember to thank your maker. Enjoy the games! And what a blessing sporting is to humanity! What an impact it has in bringing us all together--removing the wired fences and walls between us and building brigdes instead! Thank God for sport!

2. BE CHALLENGED

********************************************************

FROM TODAY ON, CELEBRATE THAT 1 GOAL, REGARDLESS OF HOW MANY MORE YOU STILL NEED TO WIN THE GAME! BE PRESENT, YOU ARE IN 'THIS' MOMENT AND IT IS THIS MOMENT THAT COUNTS.

~ Roger Milliken

"And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast."
