How To Win A National Championship

Don't worry folks. I'm not going to try to convince
you I know everything there is to know about
winning a national championship in basketball.

Obviously you need superior talent playing up to
their potential as a team, led by great coaches.
A number of teams though probably fit that
criteria in any given year, but only one is the
champion.

I did notice one puzzle piece I'd never seen
before though in the University of Florida's
recent run to the national title.

Did you happen to catch Coach Billy Donovan's
pre-game pep talk on TV? Props to CBS for
making that happen, and to the Gator coaches
and administration for letting it happen. It
was a rare chance to be a fly on the wall
in the locker room before a major sports event,
and I for one thoroughly enjoyed it.

Coach Donovan's speech wasn't unusually
fiery like you might have expected. It was
passionate, but not loud and preachy. What he
told those young men was to go out and
aggressively savor every second of that game.
To stay in the moment and to try to make it
last forever.

What great advice for anything you want to
do in life. And it sure worked out well for the
Gator boys.

How much time out of your day do you spend
dwelling on your past, or pining for your future?
Whatever your answer, those experiences you
could have had during those times, have now
passed you by. Never to return.

I have to confess I've been guilty as anybody
of sleepwalking through life sometimes, but
a course called "Zero Resistance Living" has
awoken this sleeping giant.

Instead of letting your untamed imagination
take you places that waste your time and sap
your energy, why not learn how to creatively
use your imagination to glean the best from
your past and to forge the kind of future you
really want.
