Raphael Nadal won at Wimbledon this past Sunday. So did Roger Federer. In his post game interview with the players, the great John McInroe (who won at Wimbledon himself 3 times) told them that it was a privilege to have watched them play and that it was the best tennis match he had ever seen.
I agree with John. The level of excellence demonstrated by both players was almost unbelievable. Point for point, they battled it out, forcing each other to play better and better. It was a joy to watch.
Since I do not own a TV set, I went over to a friend’s house to watch. I have said many times before that watching TV is a waste of time. Watching these two champions play was, however, one of the best investments of time I have made in a long time.
It was beyond inspirational to see two people so committed to excellence; so focused on their game, so capable of being truly in the moment, that nothing, not even the two rain delays, distracted them from playing full out.
When the match was finally over, after more than 4 ½ hours of intense competition, the two players hugged. They knew that each had brought the best out in himself and in each other.
I don’t know about you, but I recognized that my own level of play in life can be improved upon. Tennis, after all, is only a game. Life is the greater game; and this is no practice run, this is it: our one chance at playing for the championship. These two guys play big at life. They are committed to being winners. They are focused on being their best.
What about you? Are you committed to winning the game of life? Are you focused on playing at your best?
These guys are the best in the world at their game. They both have a coach. If you want to be the best at playing your game, maybe you should get some coaching. Maybe you should start playing with people who will bring out the best in you. Come on over to the community of people committed to excellence. Join the Prosperity Paradigm Community and start playing big. You deserve it.
