Today’s Thought: Wait Until Next Year, We’ll Show Them

Why do we give our hearts and emotions to sports teams? I confess, i’m guilty. When my teams win, my sun is brighter, the sky bluer. When they lose, especially a big game, it’s as if someone gave me a solid punch in the stomach. It’s not good. It makes sense to stop giving our heart and emotions to our favorite teams. I can’t. I don’t think it’s an addiction. I think we see our teams as having the potential to lift us out of a sometime dreary day. They symbolize what we aspire to. Yes, we all want to succeed. We all want to stand on the top step of the podium, if only metaphorically. Maybe we already do and don’t realize it. I’ll continue to root for my teams and live and die with them. Not only do they represent what I aspire to, but they teach me, there will be another chance, another game or contest. It may have to wait a year. Yah, I can wait. Wait until next year, we’ll show them!
