"Some of your best passes are incompletions."



I have heard this many times, but it stuck a few weeks ago while watching an NFL game. Obviously, in the game of football it pertains to a QB's ability to throw the ball away instead of taking a sack or trying to force a throw into tight coverage - at the risk of an interception....the incomplete pass is better than the alternatives.


Well, does it fit in our lives today? Any analogy? When things go wrong, we seem to be quick to judge as to why. However, there is a belief that things happen for a reason, but sometimes it takes so long to see the reason! Point being....we may not know that our "incomplete pass" was good at the moment it happened - but it may end up being better for us than "forcing a throw into coverage" or "taking a sack". Make sense? What do you think?

My power lies in truth or consequences. Denial or control is no longer an option and I am ready to experience a breakthrough. My suffering, fear, or emotional loss is/was valid, incredible and deserves to be acknowledged and expressed in order to heal or transform the sacrifice. I am empowered by recognition and my virtue is choice.
