Perspective

This weekend, I attended a little league/pee wee football game. Initially, the team for whom I was rooting was down 14-0. It appeared it might be their first loss. The young boys were walking slow, heads hung low. The coaches were encouraging them to stay focused. I left to get food and drinks and, unfortunately, encountered a long line at the singularly staffed food truck. I returned to find our team up 21-20! What?!?!?! Moreover, the countenance of the players was 180 degrees different! Even in the face of further adversity, they rooted for one another, standing strong and proud the entire time. With only a 1 point lead, obviously nerves were on edge. I realized those coaches and smooches were willing to fail forward but would not do so without giving it their all! What a tremendous and hard won victory! I am incredibly proud of all involved and obviously, wish them safety and continued success!
