No Off Seasons Here

Almost everything has an off-season. Sports. Work (sabbatical). TV Shows…..what is the world going to do when Scandal ends Season 2 next week??? Lol. If we’re not careful we can even fall into the off-season mentality too. Don’t get me wrong, everything and everyone needs a break and a time of rest. But if you really think about it, should we really have off seasons? This week, I had the opportunity to have lunch with a co-worker who reminded me that some of the most successful people are those that are working when everyone else is sleeping. I guess it’s true when they say the early bird gets the worm.

Think about some of the most successful business moguls, entertainers and sports figures you know of. These people all have one thing in common. They’re not afraid to sweat. Don’t mistake what I’m saying. We all have to know when it’s time to back away from the table (still working on that myself) and take a break. But there should never be an elongated period where we’re not working towards perfecting our passions, dreams and goals. When the cameras stop rolling, people think the show is over. But little do they know, the true victors are still working hard, pushing past their pain, and moving into their true destiny. Just because game time and regular practices end for the season, there’s still training and preparation that needs to be done to be better than the last season.
