Obstacle Course

In sports, growing up, we learn a lot about obstacles - in school, as well. Life, it turns out is full of obstacles. Luckily, if we are brought up right - have good parents, good coaches, good teachers - we learn that obstacles are not necessarily rooms with no doors, but challenges to overcome. Sometimes we make our own obstacles, sometimes they are pre-set over decades or millenia. There is one thing for certain, no matter how much you prepare or think you know, life will always hand you another obstacle. It's like God's intricate little game to see what we will do next. What are we, rats??? Sorry for being not quite so specific, but I have a feeling we all have some sort of course ahead that appears somewhat daunting. I oftentimes have to refer back to advice I gave to my soccer players. Find a way (right now) and find the goal. In short, I would say, Let's Win. After all, it's just an obstacle. If the game were over, we'd know it already.
