Feedback or Criticism is a gift! If you are at the receiving end of criticism in your life – you are ruffling some feathers, you stand for something, you are alive ! But what we do with that criticism defines who we become in our lives. Winner is that loser who tried one more time , but is also that loser that did not go away after his/her failures, criticism and lack of success. Consistency is immensely underrated but it is one of the keys to greatness in anything we do. I respect Consistent people because they are Committed. Tennis is a great sport, like all sports – I have kids that compete at a high level in Tennis so i know a thing or two about it. It’s a lonely sport – the only sport where you are not allowed to communicate with anyone but yourself in a match situation. But its everything like life – your challenges are just that YOURS. On a Tennis court or Life court – you are your biggest asset and your biggest adversary. Will you dig yourself out of that hole that you dug yourself into or you were put in by no doing of yours – Will you follow your Convictions? or Will you lick your wound and delve into Self-pity and Blame – Will you Wilt under Criticism. Invest in your kids future of becoming Strong, Successful, Tough individuals – make them play sports and let them taste failure. Failure is where learning begins, yet we are so scared to Fail as a society. Too scared to separate out the Winners from Losers in Elementary school – God forbid we might hurt someone’s feelings. Sports or Life are not that forgiving and we best prepare ourselves and our children to stomach our failures and learn from them.
Follow your convictions today and everyday. Love Live Learn.. Till next time !
Live in your Now
