Watching professional sports reminds us that every player has different responsibilities. The same as true in life. I may not know what my wife packed in the kids’ suitcases for our trip, but she doesn’t have to carry those suitcases. She packs, I carry. Same team different role. Not everyone gets the game ball, but without all parts playing together, you can’t win. Play your part and enjoy the victory. Game on!

We are encouraged each year to choose our “one word” – the word that will guide our intentions, hopes, and maybe changes. This year I chose “stand.” There are times I will need to stand up for those without a voice. To stand firm in my beliefs and convictions. To stand out from my peers. But also, to stand down when the battle is not mine to fight. To me, stand represents who I will be when the pressure increases.

I encourage you to find your word – a word that will challenge you to do what you know needs to be done. Let it motivate you to stay the course when life gets hard. It’s a simple exercise that may pay huge dividends.

Aye!
