Your trash-talker ain't got NO game! Who's doing the work here? Who's holding the ball?

The proof is in the pudding. Ever play basketball? It almost seemed as though trash-talking was written into the way that the sport was played. I guess being one of the games that you get to play and talk (or be able to) and the opponent always seems to be talking down to the one holding the ball. Hmmmmm, the one that is holding the ball......Isn't THAT the one who has the opportunity to score? They always seem to have that focused look on their face too, as they are looking towards getting the ball into the basket to score.

So what the lesson? Get the ball, FOCUS, push past opposition and score. MAKE THE SHOT! The one holding the ball is the one who gets to make the shot and has more opportunity to win the game. Get the ball in your possession! And keep taking shots at the basket. It's the best way to win......Play the game.

(As a note you don't have to go and play basketball. Feel free to apply to other areas in your life. ATM I am focused on the Transformation Challenge. Are you in?)
