I LOOOOOOOOOVE soccer and last night was one of those nights that got my blood boiling from minutes of happiness to minutes of frustration. By the 55th minute, Liverpool had secured an astonishing five goals, leading 5-1. For many, the game seemed all but over. The odds were stacked against Tottenham Spurs and defeat appeared rather vivid than winning or conceding any goal would have.At that moment, they had every reason to throw in the towel, to lose hope, and to give up. But they didn’t.
Instead, they kept pushing, kept playing, and kept believing. Their efforts proved rather stubborn and they found themselves at 5-3. Though Liverpool ultimately sealed the game with one more, the fight that Tottenham showed on the field was nothing short of remarkable. It was a powerful reminder that the tides can shift at any moment and that faith, effort, and resilience matter, even in the face of overwhelming odds so long you keep fighting.
Life doesn’t always play out the way we envision it. There will be moments when you feel like you’re down 5-1 and the clock is ticking against you. It’s in those moments that faith becomes your greatest ally. Faith in God, faith in a higher power, faith that things can and will get better. You don’t give up because you trust that victory can still be yours.
Many times I have found myself down, a fighting spirit crushed and not having any hope whatsoever that things will flip in my favor but I have always admired how I constantly have been proved wrong and delighted that I let faith play.
I hope this year has been kind to you. And if it hasn’t, I hope that you still have faith that things can turn at any point in time. Might not be now but later. It is important to believe in the power that surrounds you, a power that enables you to overcome challenges. Being defeated mentally is the worst of all defeats because being defeated mentally is the first step to giving up and failing. It closes all the possibilities of you believing in something.
It's totally okay if the only thing you did this year was breath. Time is not with us but faith definitely is.
