In sports everyone knows that when there’s three seconds left and the score is tied, the next play is for the win. All the pressure and stress and glory and legacy are all wrapped up in the next play for the win. This is the one that matters more than all the others and will forever change the story.
But for the rest of us we hardly ever know when we’re playing for the win.
We have to be ok with the alternative…making the next play a good one. Sure it might turn out to be for the win but we won’t know until months or years down the road.
Make it good enough to be a winner even if it isn’t for the win.
