Senior Soccer Players

This morning, I watched a soccer match in which my son participated. I was amazed at the agility of the players, all fifty years or older. What struck me is how physical the sport of soccer is. With each play, you risk being injured. Yet, each player gave it their all cheered on by their fellow players. I was also surprised at the skill many of the particpant demonstrated and their spirit in participating all out. I also made note that there were no obese players among their ranks. I ask myself is it worth the risk they take? It must be for they return week after week and give it their all. Bravo!

Recent Insight

I recently was made aware of the writings of Nightingale who devoted his life to the study of wisdom. He identified what he considered a crucial theme "We become what we think about most of the time." I applied this insight into my own life and found it extremely revealing. What if you applied this insight into your life?
