The spirit of the Superbowl reminds me of the magic that a team can have when there is teamwork involved. A team that truly functions as a team has the winning edge and enjoys the game. Its beautiful when you see a team player assisting another team member with the play of the season, or offering a helping hand to pull them back into the game or giving them the pat on the back and the high five to celebrate their accomplishment. Winning teams know that together they are more successful than they will ever be alone. The strength that comes from a group of people working toward the same goal is a powerful force and is almost impossible to detour. Its an honor to have the experience of teamwork and a privilege to be called a team mate.
I've had the incredible experience of working with such a team and am so thankful to each one of them for all they have taught me and continue to teach me. We are quite diverse and yet our experiences, goals and passions tie us together. Our diversity and uniqueness make us stronger and create a richer outcome.
We all have many teams in our lives. We have teams at work, at home and in our community. Each one of us can be the team member that we are looking for in others. We can be the one that lifts others up when they need a bolt of support. We can be the one to celebrate another team member and know that there is room for all of us to succeed. We can be the one to empower others by sharing our knowledge and opportunities. We can be the one to bridge the gap and find the solution so another team member can meet their goals, assigned tasks and obligations. We can be the one to assist our team to a new level of success. Imagine how much more you would enjoy spending time with your team if we all contributed to our team in this way . . . all it takes is one person to change the game.
How is 2010 going to be different than 2009?
Only you can answer that question and the question is what are you going to do that is different? You are the only one that is in charge of your future, not your parents, not your manager and not your company. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Yet this is exactly what many of us do each year. We gear up on January 1 with New Years resolutions. We dream of how we are going to be the change in the world that we all want to see -right? But now that its the last week of January how many of us still have the same focus and fire that we did the first week of the month? The truth is that unless we have a plan and work that plan - nothing will be different in our lives than it was last year. But let's think about the possiblities of what could be. What if this was the year that every new years resolution we ever dreamed did become our reality. What if we woke up one morning and we were living the life we always wanted? What would you be willing to give up to make that dream a reality? Once we answer that question, we have the answer to what will be different in 2010 than what existed in 2009.
