One of the lessons sports teach us is to focus on the shot in front of you. It’s easy to get stuck thinking about the last shot, or let our thoughts drift to the next one. Thinking about the last shot doesn’t change where we on the course or the court or the field though. We’re here, now. And, the next shot will be determined by what happens with this one. For the moment time stands still. There is only one shot; the one in front of us.
Time travel , going back and forth between the past and the future, takes a lot of energy and can tie us up in knots. There’s a freedom, a spaciousness that occurs when we decide to focus on the shot or the play in front of us. We’re free to act without holding back, to go all in, to hit the shot or make the run with conviction. And then, whatever happens we move on, and focus on the shot in front of us.
