So, you’re playing tennis, you’re 2 sets down and in the 3rd set your opponent is serving for the match. What do you do?
Well, if you follow tennis in Britain, you’ll probably know that Andy Murray went on to WIN the match! Stunning. Un-believable. I was sat in watching the tv last night with a look of utter incredulity on my face. I am still shocked. From being totally out of the game, he went on to win it! Many people (me included) would have been thinking about supper at that point and given up. Mind you, I’m rubbish at tennis, so there would have been NO chance of a comeback for me!
Anyway, it got me thinking…when you are going for your goals and dreams in life, do you keep going til the last point, or do you give up half way? Now I’m not necessarily recommending sheer bloody-mindedness necessarily – it’s hard work for a start! But what if you just kept playing for the things you wanted? All too often, people give up when things are just starting to happen! Sometimes you have to change the playing field, I know that, but you don’t have to give up on your dreams.
In fact, I’d go as far as to say, you mustn’t give up! Because you can do it…with a healthy dollup of self-belief, a bit of luck and tenacity – you will do it. And observers will be standing round opened mouthed, saying ‘unbelievable’, ‘stunning’ and ‘bloody hell, good for you!’
