My Competitive Spirit…. Wanting to win at all
cost, to keep up with the “Jones’s”, to never settle for second place, to
outshine the rest…
Oh my goodness do I have the need to be the best…
hopefully not in a rude, obnoxious way but deep down inside I cringe if
something I do is criticized and isn’t the best of the best. Seriously? That is
not ok. I have a problem. I’m watching these cowboys hang on for dear life on
the backs of beautiful bucking broncos
or nasty ol bulls and I wonder about my motives. The only thing they have to do
is make sure they “Mark up” right out of the gate (a position of their feet)
…that’s it..oh and hang on for 8 seconds.. but that’s it. No fanciness or
technique is expected, just hang on and do the best you can. Why do I feel the
need to have it all together all the time. They aren’t even competing with each
other…they are just concentrating on their own ride and figuring out how to
stay on and not get hurt in the process. Everyday life is the same, everyone is riding their own beast or beauty... I am not competing with them. So Jesus, I am giving you my
Competitive spirit…I am going to concentrate on not “Missing the Mark” and just
hang on, enjoy the ride and take the bulls or broncs you have placed me on for
the day and hang on!
