This morning my wife was singing, “We’re Better When We’re Together” and it made me think how often she and I are out in the community with people we may not know, but how much better it makes us feel, think, and live when we act kind, thoughtful, and see everyone around us as part of the same team. More like comrades, associates, and literal human resources to this game we call LIFE.

 

We are all living it and playing the game. Some of us are currently on offense, defense, sitting the bench so others can have a turn, or maybe even out with an injury for a season. Regardless we are all here trying our best to move forward; and the nice part of this analogy is we are playing against ourselves and the way we actually win is by mixing, mingling, and making sure those around us are moving forward too. This is how we WIN and the best part in WINNING is doing it together!

 

 

The next time you feel as though you may be losing at the game of life, LOOK around you. See how you can connect to someone, anyone,even if it’s as simple as starting with a smile, saying hello, talking to a person at the grocery store, or bringing someone you know a special treat. As we focus on reaching outward in our daily interactions towards others we can alleviate carried stress, gain increased self fulfillment, and find needed introspection and insight to change and move ourselves forward too.
