If it’s to be it’s up to me.
Very often we face challenges in life and we are at crossroads of life where we ought to decide the course of action to be taken.
Life is full of challenges and it is never smooth sailing.
All of us have been watching the foot ball World cup matches.
This got concluded just yesterday night with Spain beating Holland 1 nil.
What a match it was.
Spain could not score the goal in the first 90 minutes.
The game went for extra time of 30 minutes and then the Never Say Die Spain managed to get a goal.
If you see the teams both Holland & Spain were underdogs and have never won a World cup.
Big and Great Teams like Brazil, Germany, Argentina, France, and Italy were heavyweights and have won the cup previously.
Italy was the champions in the last World cup defeating France.
What happened in the matches?
Brazil was humiliated by Holland, Germany defeated the Great Argentina by 4 Goals. France and Italy former champions were not in the reckoning at all in the second round.
Where were the giants of yesteryears, all fell of like nine pins by new teams which were not even considered by the football loving fans to be in the reckoning for reaching the second round leave aside winning the cup?
What is that which makes the difference between well established teams and teams which were not known.
Well established teams had a huge responsibility and they were overshadowed by their glorious past, and they were nervous of losing the games.
Consider the teams who did not have a chequered past, they had nothing to lose and hence were not nervous to perform.
See the great Players like Fabregas, Thierry Henry, Van Persie, Wayne Rooney, Christiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Lionel Messi most of them did not score goals, though they may have contributed to their side’s win.
Mueller of Germany, Sneider of Holland, Diego Forlan of Uruguay, were top scorers. Mueller was a name not heard before the world cup, this young man just 20 Years old has won the Golden Boot award.Sneider was not in the reckoning at all.
What great games these players played, they outperformed the veterans.
We often wonder whether experience is everything in our lives.
I don’t think so, as experienced players have not performed very well.
What is that makes a player perform and shine.
Merely experience cannot bring about the magic though it can give some insight into the game.
What matters is the grit, attitude and the will power to excel.
This plays a great role in our lives.
Next time you find that you are in a difficult spot don’t lose hope, have the courage to face it, beat it, and keep your attitude to win and then it would happen.
Whatever you vividly Imagine, Ardently Desire, Sincerely believe, and enthusiastically act upon would definitely happen.
Lastly it it’s to be it’s up to me.
