It Is Not Over Till It's Over
Happy Sunday to all
I am always thinking of things to help others improve the dynamics of their business and to make them more successful.
Today I was thinking about no matter how low you may feel it is not over till it's over.
You still have the chance to turn things around when it looks like it may be over.
I remember a tennis double's match I was involved in a few years back.
My partner and I were 5-0 down in the set with the other team to serve out for a possible 6-0 result.
I thought to myself this is not good enough and made a decision that from that moment I would play for every point like it was the final point.
I did not mention this to my playing partner.
Suddenly every point became vital to my success.
We won the next game and so it went from 5-1, 5-2, 5-3, 5-4, and then 5-5.
Playing each point as it was my last point was working, then we went ahead 6-5 and then ended up winning the set 7-5.
This is the same with business and today and that is something I look to achieve with everything I do.
It is not over till it's over.
If you still have breath in your lungs all things are possible.
Go get that point today.
Victory is just around the corner.
Be blessed
Darren :)

Your sports analogy is so true. Interstingly we see this where teams suddenly find an extra gear when time is running out. ten minutes of all out mayhem where they play to a higher standard. Being able to harness that passion from the start might produce more far reaching results.
That is true, we only have to look at Stoke City in The English Football Championship last night.
Now that was a team with the backs against the wall.
All the best

It's strange how it takes the thought of losing or it looks most likely, to be able to adopt the mind set of playing each point as if it is the final point.
That in itself is a an achievement on its own! Then, to go on and win 7 in a row after losing 5 in a row is brilliant!
It was certainly over then! Well done! And, thank you.
Best wishes, Rob
Thanks, Rob
Sometimes it when we have our backs to the wall that great things can happen.
This night will be with me forever.
All the best

Yes indeed, it's not over untill it's over but it can be over if you decide so. You are what you think. Cheers.
You are right, as long as the game is not over, you still have a chance. Only YOU decide whether it is over or not at that point in time.
Thanks, Stanley for stopping by, reading and making a comment.
