Image by stevec77 via FlickrAs this blog is all about overcoming life's challenges I have to write about last nights football result...and overcoming the disappointment.
I now find myself in the position of having to overcome the shock of firstly not seeing the England goal as ITV HD went to adverts a tad early just at the crucial moment. By the time they returned to the game England had scored and I felt robbed of my moment of celebration. It's just not quite the same after the moment.
Plus, how on earth do you overcome the shock of watching the ball slowly trickle into the net after the goalkeepers mistake. My jaw remained in a dropped position for some time in total disbelief. Added to this overcoming the disappointment of England failing to score another goal. All credit to the American's.
Ok so it's not quite the end of the world and we still have two more games to play....can my nerves stand the tension. Well of course, it's all part of the fun of watching the World Cup. At least England are there this time.
Putting it into the context of Personal Development....I could not resist an opportunity! No matter how much you want something to happen there are some situations that are outside your control. You are reliant on other people to do their bit and even when the others involved are committed to the same outcome, mistakes happen. You need to learn from it, support each other and stay focused on what you want. So long as you can say you did as much as you possibly could to influence the result then you need to let go of the actual outcome. And move on to the next challenge.
Roll on next Friday.
