Do you still have the love?

It is one of the greatest times of the year for a sports fan.  Major League Baseball's race for the play-offs are heating up, The NFL and college football are just weeks away, and The Little League World Series is underway.  I love the Little League World Series and I think it gives us an opportunity to learn.  Here's how:

The kids still love the game for the game.  No salaries, no hype, just a pure love of the sport.  There is always passion, emotion, and the desire to win.  So how about you?  Do you still have the love?  Let's examine three areas.

 1.  The love of life.  These kids love life and play hard in everything they do.  You might be saying, "but if they had my bills, my job, my situation, they would not have that love."  What would happen if you turned that around, and asked the reverse.  What would happen if you took their love of life and put it into your work, your relationships, and your everyday habits.  I bet you would see a big improvement.

2.  They love to compete.  All of these teams are winners or they would not have made it this far.  Yes there are winners and losers in The Little League World Series, but they are all competitors.  When they face difficult situations, they look at how they can succeed.  Sometimes with "maturity" we lose that trait.

3.  The love of their families.  I have met a former player in the series.  I talked to his aunt about the whole experience and she explained how the players are kept safe and secure in a very fun dorm type environment.  But they do not have contact with their families during the time they are still in the series.  Yes they are big time baseball players -- but they are still little boys who need their families.  They realized that very quickly.

What about you?  Have you realized that no matter how old you are, you need a support system around you.  Somewhere inside there is still a little kid.

Just a few things to think about as you start your week.  Go find your love of life.  Have fun.
