Coach me

One might say that things in life have a way with themselves.
Maybe they are forced.
Or do they come by for a reason or purpose to make us better/worse off.


Seasons change.
People change.
Characters and personalities change.

And somehow, we are faced with a challenge to choose.
What we truely desire to have.


We are riduculed everyday with different senarios and situations.
Bombarded with perplexing questions and unwanted thoughts.
Pressed hard on every side.
But are we shaken?
Do we shatter into bits and pieces?

That's your decision.



We humans, by nature, want things our way.
Badly.
We desperately cling on to things that seem impossible to attain.
Unaware that the more we hang on, the more we will never even be able to smell it.

We can't let go of things from the past.
Neither do we choose to embrace what is set before us which may help us in our current situation.
Stubborness gets the better of us.
"It's either my way or I'm not going anywhere!"



Acceptance is the key to our questioning minds.


Take it this way,
It's 20 seconds from the end of the game.
The crowd is anxious.
Your team is frustrated.
You can't seem to make the hoops.
You're down 83-85 and all you need is a shot from one of the star players.
Your basketball coach tells you to make the pass, and sends the team off.

The crowd stands and cheers as the game starts rolling.
Some with hands clutched tight to one another.
Others with arms in the air, counting down to the final whistle.

You have possession.
Your buddy's waving his arms, signaling for the pass.
You stand frantically behind the white line of the semi-circle.
"I can do this, once I get this in, it'll be all over."

You take one last glance at your buddy as you prepare for the jump.
But all you could feel was his disagreeing angish from his expression.
Your eyesight becomes myopic as you release the ball from your palms.
Slowly, you stand in dispair.

Stubborness, to selfishness, to weariness, to guilt and regret.



Sometimes, we do not need concrete evidence to prove that things will go right.
He knows what will happen and why things happen.
He knows what's best for us even if we ourselves aren't aware.
He is our coach, the one who has been through it, lived through it, and understands it all.
When He says it, we listen.
Seldom do we need to question.
Never do we have to doubt.


Listen to what your coach has to say.
It's good advise.
