The Intimidators
That’s the name of Symone’s, my ten-year old daughter, basketball team. Last night they played their first game of the season. They lost by 5 points. The final score was 15-10. Win or lose, Symone’s question is the same after each game: “What’s for dinner?” At first I was annoyed by her question, I thought she should at least take a few moments to lament the loss. I asked her if she wanted to talk about the game. She said, “Why talk about it. It’s over and there is nothing I can do about it now.”
I am beginning to think Symone is on to something. Perhaps the best way to move on after a loss is to stop talking about it and move on.
Encouragement Always.
