Sitting on the bench

We all do that, don't we

From time to time
Alone or with others

Time to relax or cheer up!

For the football players
(soccer in America)
And athletes among us
It has a special meaning

It means you are out of the game
not playing, sitting along
Watching a game you seem no longer part of

What is my point?

Sitting on the bench is a life changing experience
For most athletes involved.

You are no longer the top star, just a beginner or injured...

It requires patience and humility to sit there
In front of a public cheering up your mates

Best you can do is cheer them up as well
You love the game don't you?
And you want your team to win, no?

So... sitting on the bench can be productive
You watch as outsider and yet involved
You know the game and yet not playing

And then, a player falls out
You take the place
Entering the game

Spots on YOU
and before you know
GOAL!




A magnificent feeling
From bench to glory

Unforgettable
And the cheers are for you!

Never neglect the bench
It is a great place for growing
observing and support

Thank you for likes, shares and comments

What was your bench experience? And what did you learn from it?

I think most people, including myself, can relate to this, friend. Think about those who were fired or let go of their job. Sitting at home is like sitting on the bench.

That's when the thinking kicks in. Some people would go online to find something to make ends meet, like trying out W.A, learning a new course, or re-educating themselves so that they can live a better life.

Missing their standards of living as they watch the other people in their community go up and are being recognized, can lead to that motivation to do something better.

Relating to your post here, if people weren't being fired from their lousy jobs, and weren't sitting at home to figure out what they can do, they would have been stuck with those lousy jobs. So yes, "sitting on the bench" can be a form of self-reflection and healing. All the best!

Yes... hard times for many, very hard times. Not really relaxing either. The urge to find a job and to feed a family to make ends meet is not exactly a peaceful place to rest. For those who take time to reflect and find new opportunities, it is indeed a new start.

Affiliate marketing goes by hard work and numbers. Not a quick get rich scheme. More a learning of new techniques and possibilities ... patience, endurance and here at WA a great supporting community.

The new trend is local.

Love it Fleeky. The bench is an ideal place to reflect, consider, meditate, relax or to come on from as a super-sub!

Simone is a cheerleader indeed! If you happen to sit on the bench and start to feel discouraged, she will be the first to give you a (positive) yell!
