Resilience: Flag Football


This last Saturday, I joined a band of brethren and got down and dirty playing flag football.


We lost horribly. We didn't even get a touchdown.

We didn't care. We just had fun. We stumbled over the rules and laughed. We dropped passes and laughed. We tripped and accidentally ran into our opponents and laughed. The one time I caught the ball, I panicked and ran backward to try to keep a rule unique to this particular brand of flag football.

Everyone laughed.

The point wasn't to win. The point was to get some exercise, to blow off some steam, to have some fun, to laugh at our wins and even our losses.

There are some things in life that grant you automatic successes. What are some things you do?
