Welcome to week fifteen. This week, David reflects on the saying "for the love of the game" in relation to his life's mission.
Excerpt:
“For the Love of the Game.” I used to hear that phrase in reference to Michael Jordan. I thought he represented something that was important for me to understand. Can we really do our life mission without on some level being in touch with this “love of the game”?
When I think about why I’m here and how I would bring this love of the game to my work in the world, the love of the game begins to breathe in me. I’ve felt that missing for longer than I can remember. Maybe it’s always been missing. I long for the passion and joy that the “love of the game” symbolizes to me. I want it to radiate and inform my way in both worlds. The being of my life mission deserves this. We all deserve to have this love of the game in our life.
It was time for me to remember what to do with my life.
