The Game of Life - Part 3, Focus On Your Career

my all time favorite football player, David Beckham

In football, a footballers career is around 10-15 years, depending on what position they play and when did they turn pro. They give all that they can, put all their efforts into training, sometimes even jeopardising their relationships (friendship and etc.) just because of their intense passion and commitment to their career. Players want to look back on their careers and know that they have given their best and be remembered by fans for their achievements not only as a football player but as a person who benefited and impacted the sport. On the other hand, players that get caught up in relationships and in the heat of all other things that has nothing to do with even a ball, often are players that are not remembered by fans or even recognize as a player. They are often remembered as losers! A football great has always been measured by their loyalty to the club, their focus on their career and their achievements, which we all know will follow when the first 2 things are accomplished.

So come on people, let us learn from these football players. Know that our time in this world ain't that much. Its much shorter than you think it is. Let us be giving our hearts totally to "football" (God. For those of you that are offended that I've equated football with God, please get angry with the devil, he deserves it more than me) in this short time and reap our rewards in eternity. Let us not be caught up in the things of the world and lose focus of what we are to do for such a time as this. I'm sure you don't wanna look back and regret on wasted opportunities. Trust me, you will regret if you aren't living right baby! I'm not saying that having friendships are wrong, certainly not, I would be a fool if I was meaning that, and my mama raised no fool. I'm saying, don't be caught up in it. Well, only you and God know whether you're caught up in something. So focus on your "career".

P.S. - This is a gentle reminder to all you blind dingbats that have actually already figured out your purpose of life and yet not living it and doing it. You're welcome.

'WORDS OF FAITH'

Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. (Matthew 6:33-34 NKJV)

'FUN FACT'

God looks at the intentions of your heart more than you know it.
