Half time status

When the half time whistle was blown, they heaved a sigh of relief and wished it was a full-time whistle. They were at the breaking point and were ready to just go home and wallow in pain and sorrow.

They dragged themselves to the locker room and wow!!!, there waiting for them was their all-time greatest hero. He congratulated them and told them that they had just seen the full arsenal of their opponent who seemed to be winning but now it was their time to step up.

They all looked at him in disbelief, as in, what’s wrong with this one? Has he not seen the scores? How will they make up for such a losing margin?

Their hero says, “you win and lose in your head!!!” and asks them to imagine how much more victorious it would be if they came up now and won the game? And it was like a bulb lighted up in their head. Next, he asked them to review the match and decide what went wrong, where and when and what can be done better in the rest of the game.

Finally, he told them the story of the many times he was in such tournaments and reviewed, rebooted, retooled, and won, and that is what legends are made of. He charged them to go back out there and leave the game as legends and they did. It was an epic game, never to be forgotten.

You are in your own game now, be it in business, life, any journey you are on. It’s not over buy any definition it’s just half time. It’s time to re-strategize and recharge to win. I see you as epic champions already.

Go out there and make your mark!!! It’s only champions like you that can come back from the kinds of losses you have made and still win.

I will be at the finish line waiting to welcome you to your victory.

Welcome to the 2nd half, go and win!
