God Mode

Some people insist on calling it luck. People wait for change when they should actively be creating new avenues of possibility. Today I caught myself thinking negatively about a situation which could have cost me 30 more minutes on public transport over a 30 cent discrepency.

The cashier had run out of change and instead of worrying or fuming about the situation I quickly ran for the train as I felt waiting would cost me more than 30 cents. I was able to snap out of the mode I was in during the morning as I was hit by 3 or 4 instances where I had just missed or the timing wasn't right for buses, taxis and other plans for travel. I made the express train just in time.

I had realised or percieved that I was not flowing through life in my normal state. Some people call it God mode. You know these people in life for whom things seem to work out for. These people are not gifted something in life other than a positive attitude and a will to make it happen.

I see seemless transitions during my day as the norm not the exception. I was really challenged after a night on the tables where I would rate the result as avarage despite getting my money in as a 75% favourite 3 times and losing a few hundred. We can let past events in our life over shadow some future endeavours. I think we can shape the future by setting realistic goals for real life transformations.

On Saturday in bowls after being 15-1 down against our round 5 opponents we managed to claw back to a 20-19 lead with 8 ends to play. We continued on our winning way extending the length of the ends and our lead to win by 15 shots on our rink. Our whole team is hoping to win as many rinks as possible throughout the Pennant season.

We found a way to win. We changed our strategy. We never lost our focus, we believed in ourselves and the team. I think by having a team working together and believeing in one another it pushes us all individually to work harder. We really didn't want to let the team down and we were pretty confident of an overall victory. This enabled us to take tactical risks which payed off. We scored 33 shots to our opponents 2 over the last 10 ends.
