THE SCORE AT HALFTIME . . .
“In the game of life, nothing is less important than the score at halftime.” Andy Andrews
How’s your year going?
It doesn’t seem possible but 2011 is just about half over.
How’s your life going?
Most of you reading this will be experiencing, at least from time to time, the stark realization that your life is fast approaching the half-way point. For many of us, that halfway point is long gone.
The quote at the top of the page is a most important reflection point. Whether looking at the current year, or the larger perspective of our lives, there is a score, and we are either winning or losing, with respect to the goals and objectives we have set. However, it is not the current score that matters, in fact nothing is less important right now.
We have all watched a sporting event, and watched as the teams headed for the dressing room at half time. One team went off with a spring in their step, visions of victory dancing in their heads, while the other, heads down, were the picture of dejection and defeat. It is not the retreat to the dressing room at half time that completes the story, it is what happens next that matters.
