I watched the high school girls C-squad basketball game tonight. They were outmatched by their opponent and it was obvious from the beginning of the game, but I was impressed with how well they hung in there and kept fighting, even when it was obvious they were going to lose. The old saying, "It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game" came to mind.
I wonder when we lose that? It seems like very often as we get older we stop taking risks and working at things unless we know we are going to excel at them. Or maybe it's not a function of age as much as character.
Is there anything you do just because you enjoy it, even though you may not be great at it. Are you willing to keep playing/working/fighting, even when you can't "win"?
The final score doesn't always reflect the heart with which you play.
