If life's a game, there is no second string.
There is no scout team.
There are no bench warmers.
Everyone plays first string.
We are responsible for knowing our position and for playing it as best we can
Knowing our position means understanding who we are, what we are to do, and what we are not to do. It's recognizing the boundaries of our skills - and of the position.
Playing to the best of our ability does not mean comparing ourselves to others. It means getting up everyday, putting on our game face, admitting the seriousness and enormity of what's before us, and rushing headlong into the fray.
Life has no sidelines.
Life has no spectators.
There are no timeouts.
There are no intermissions.
Everyone is in the game, everyone plays first string.
