On Saturday Quinn had a hockey game, and they lost 3-2. He wasn’t too worried about it, they just have too much fun playing to get all that worked up over it. We were walking out of the rink and I said to Quinn, ‘well don’t worry buddy, you can’t win them all’. His response?
“No, but you CAN lose them all.”
After I stopped laughing, I started thinking that this was actually fairly profound. In the grand sense, any “win” should be a reason to celebrate. We should be grateful for what we have, in essence. It can always be worse.
As I prepare to work again this weekend (which is 4 out of the last 5 weekends in a row) it is rather important to remember that it’s better to be working hard than hardly working.
Thanks buddy, I needed that.
