This post is written about Sport but in life and business as in sports...no matter what you do,no matter what you're going through, you must stay in the game to win.
This post is a bit more personal for me as im sending this out to my Aunt who was recently diagnosed with Leukemia, She is literally in a fight in the game of life...sick, her body failing yet still trying to find ways to survive ;pay car payments,house payments,buy groceries.Diagnosed with leukemia in January she has been unable to work spending the better part of the last several months in the hospital with my uncle by her side...she's staying in the game...but there are times when circumstances are beyond our control. Sports,the gym,going to work...that's the easy stuff we all deal with, the game of life that's the real battle,thats the one we have to fight to stay in. My aunt is the most giving,kind person I know,She's always been like a second mother to myself and my siblings especially since 2011 when we lost our mother at the age of 53 to Brain tumours. My aunt would never ask for a thing but thoughts and or prayers are asked for...this is not normally something I'd put in a Linkedin post but for her this is survival...physically and financially,No one should fight alone; if anyone is interested in donating through a GoFundMe page to help her please feel free to see her go fund me page https://www.gofundme.com/7btkr6h8
..Stay in the game people.Love to all!
After the sickness, after the bad breaks, after the difficult times, there are opportunities to get better. After the battles, after the discouragement, after the hurt and pain, there are opportunities to improve. After the loss, after the sacrifices, after the tears, there are opportunities to turn things around.
There are opportunities to win.
There are opportunities to excel.
There are opportunities to succeed.
But make no mistake about it; these opportunities come with a price. A price you must pay in order to get past the hurt. You have to believe. Believe with all of your heart. Believe with all of your might. Believe deep down in your soul. Believe you can win. Believe you can excel. Believe you can succeed.
Believe you can STAY in the game.-Unknown
