"...our attention had to be focused on producing the best stage play possible by focusing like a laser on each day's rehearsal... That's what we were striving for - to put on the best stage play of which we were capable.
As their leader, my job was to help them accomplish the goal of blocking out their future, the standings, and what they hoped the scoreboard might show at the end of the game." -- John Wooden
Sometimes thinking of ourselves in a play can be helpful. On those mornings when, for whatever reason, my energy is down, I've found a good medicine in pretending that today is my retirement day. There is plenty of negative ammunition around to trick us into thinking that life is worse than it really is - "crises" on the news and so forth - why not even the score with a little positive imagination?
