I remember the NHL draft when the Quebec Nordiques selected Eric Lindros. While he was picked first overall, he made it very clear that he wasn’t going to play for that team with one gesture. It is traditional that a player is presented with a sweater and he puts it on. Lindros was given one, but he refused to wear it.
It all comes down to commitment. Think of the things you are committed to in your life. Just how strong are you linked to them? Have you put on the sweater figuratively for them? If you haven’t then you are only going through the motions. Your feelings aren’t strong enough to be identified with them.
How close are you to your family, for example? Are you wearing the colours proudly or are you living your own existence independently?
Are you waving the flag for the company you work for or are you merely picking up your pay every two weeks?
No matter what you do, you have the choice of merely going through the motions or putting your heart in it. The difference in it all is commitment.
On this site I will be sharing my thoughts. I hope you enjoy them. Being my personal thoughts, you may not agree with all of them. I have no problem with that and I hope you don't, either.
