Always Playing Defence

Too often we get caught only playing defence.

Fending people off, reacting, just going with their flow

Trying to keep our heads above water -

Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win.

You see, playing to win, has nothing to do with outcome

It’s an attitude.

It’s the difference between being reactive and proactive

The difference between being passive and being active.

Playing to win means being intentional and setting the tone -

Have a clear view of the path forward and then getting at it.

Playing defence will keep you in the game

But it’s exhausting

And it won’t move you forward.
