In honor of the upcoming Super Bowl, I’m going with a football column this week!

Mike Singletary, Hall of Fame football player once said, “Do you know what my favorite part of the game is?  The opportunity to play.”   

We all have a great opportunity in our lives, in the game we are playing.  It doesn’t matter what game we are playing, but that we ARE playing.

It doesn’t matter if your game is eating and living a healthy lifestyle, exercising or moving each day, or monitoring your stress level.  What DOES matter is how you play.  And how you practice and prepare for your game.

Analyze your game.  Are you in top form?  Do you practice?  Do you prepare?  Do you work hard?  Do you show up ready to play? Do you gear up mentally each and every time you play?

George Halas, legendary founder and coach of the Chicago Bears, said, “Nobody who ever gave his best regretted it.”  Listen to George, and play your best game…every day…every chance you have.  Take advantage of the opportunity to play.  You won’t regret it, and you might enjoy the game

To Your Vitality!
