Football Season Coming

Football season is a big deal with my family. Pam and Doug, my oldest daughter and her husband and their daughters, Kristin and Trisha and her husband Rian and my youngest daughter Kathy and her husband Karl (Now, when you see me mention any of these names you will know who they are) are all avid football fans. We have a fantasy football team every year and go to all the Texans’ home games. Tonight is the pre-season game for the Texans against none other than the Broncos. This game will be like watching the Broncos play the Broncos only with different teams. Through a stroke of very good luck and I’m sure a lot of money and incentives, we have most of the Broncos coaching staff, including the son of the head coach for the Broncos. Should be a good game, even if it is only a pre-season game.

I want to muse a little. Isn’t life kind of like a football game. When you first get here you are a serious rookie. You are given the ball, but you don’t have the faintest idea what you are supposed to do with it. So you are taught by Coach Mom and Coach Dad and several other coaches along the way until you are better prepared to play the game. You get out on the playing field and find that you have people yelling and shouting at you from every side – “No! Don’t do it that way. “You can’t do that!” “It won’t work that way.” and you keep trying and trying, hoping to get the rules down and your game just right and when you do it the way you are told to, everything runs smoothly, so you decide that from now on you will do just what you are told to do or what you see your coaches doing, because life is so much easier.

You go through a series of coaches and then find that it is time to become a free agent – choose your own team, make your own dreams but you find that you still have to play by the rules, and they are always someone else’s rules, just different coaches and different team mates. So what do you do? If you really love the game, you stick with it and work your own magic and sneak in a few of your own plays so that you feel that you own some part of the game, and if you really do a good job of making the game yours, you come out on top with the crowd cheering for you, statistics that outshine those before you and a goal for those who follow you to reach for.

Your game is what you make it. You can be a leader or a follower, it’s your choice. The same rules are applied to anything you do in life. So, if a desired body weight is your current game plan, find the coach that can help you, and just like any good football player, learn the plays, visualize those plays until they become part of you, and then execute them – you will be one who has the cheering crowd, and your most avid fan will be yourself. If you are interested in finding that coach that can help you, just e-mail me at nre@takeweightoffyourmind.com and I will share with you where you can get such help.
