Deciding on Purpose

Waiting for happenstance is an illusion.

Choosing to be a change agent is magic.

Who better than you, now, to become the architect of your life.

Gravity and Drift

We will experience drift. The gravity of objects, much larger than us, generate greater force than us alone.

The power of connection allows us to navigate new paths. Clarity and awareness signal when we are straying.

Where are you seeking to go?

It’s your choice. Choose.

Then, develop the skills and ability to course correct as you continue to explore the best way forward, again and again.

Winning, Losing and Playing the Game

Keith and Laura delve into the nuanced world of sportsmanship, offering their thoughts on winning, losing, and the personal growth that can come with either experience.

While listening to Seth Godin’s Akimbo podcast, Keith was reminded of a lesson learned in youth hockey. When his team was significantly ahead, the coach’s crucial lesson of working on skill development over running up the score, spoke directly to the question Seth was asking on his podcast: What’s the purpose of sports, especially in school settings?

Laura talks about competing and more specifically how losing, can create drive and an ability to endure difficulties. Showing up, even when the odds of winning are low, like a parent-child tennis tournament, can create an opportunity to learn, improve, and grow. Facing adversity through competition can build resilience that serves us beyond beyond sports and games.

Competition isn’t just about winning; it’s about growth and improvement. While it’s natural to celebrate wins, it’s equally important to acknowledge and learn from losses. Maintaining equilibrium, in both victory and defeat, fosters resilience and character development, preparing individuals for the ups and downs of life.

Laura and Keith both agree on the importance of maintaining a balanced approach to competition. Using both victory and defeat as opportunities for personal growth and character development, we can build resilience that extends beyond sports and games and apply it to various aspects of our life.

Recommendations for further learning, including a Mel Robbins podcast episode and Seth Godin’s upcoming book “This is Strategy.”
