We often spend many days over the summer vacationing or wondering where the year went. The New Year resolutions have been mostly set aside or forgotten. Many of us can get in the doldrums and have difficulty understanding how to focus on life.
A good technique that may seem silly at first but can prove very effective is to post some favorite inspirational quotes on one or two places around your home to remind you ever day of the joy of life. You can choose whichever quotes you like but the following are some of my favorites:
Play like a Champion Today – Notre Dame
Our Greatest Glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall
Make a choice – Be Happy Today
The only way to prove you are a good sport is to lose – Ernie Banks
It’s not whether you get knocked down, it’s whether you get up – Vince Lombardi
Pain is temporary, Pride is Forever
It is not the size of a man but the size of his heart that matters – Evander Holyfield
You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take – Wayne Gretzky
A champion is someone who gets up when he can’t – Jack Dempsey
May one of these inspire you throughout August and remind you of the joys of life. Should you have any questions about MYSL or Surf Soccer or want to find out more details about soccer, feel free to contact me at president@myslsoccer.org.
