A debate has been raging. ALL day. Folks have been arguing whether Jordan Poole should have taken the last shot.
?!
!?
Supposedly, the shot should have been taken by Steph Curry. HE should have been the hero, pundits have been saying.
No matter that Jordan had already made 6 of 11, from the 3-point line. Which is a fabulous percentage.
Yea, beloveds, folks love to expound upon who is deserving of this, that and the other thing.
The world applauds, this person. Yet, the same world will look, with disdain, upon another. And, the criteria of why this one can have and why the other can not is just ridiculous.
RIDICULOUS!
Keep taking the last shot. As, sometimes, it will go in. Other times, the ball will hit the rim. You may even miss the rim completely.
Who cares?
Take the shot, anyway.
The satisfaction, is in the TRY. Yes, you want to win the game. But, the TRY is so very satisfying.
The anticipation, that comes, from the possibility.
Ah, the possibilities!
What if it goes in!?…*delicious shiver*. You can spend an eternity dreaming about the what ifs of life.
Sadly, most folks don’t even attempt that last shot. They are afraid of what others will think, should they miss.
They are afraid of what THEY will think, if they miss.
They are afraid!
Take the shot, beloveds. Take the shot, afraid. Take the shot, confident.
Don’t waste ONE moment worrying about the outcome, of the game. Or, at the jeers OR cheers, from the crowd.
YOU know of all the hard work you put into your dream/goal/relationship/job etc.
Let that be enough.
Say.
Live.
Love.
Take, the shot.
You got this.
You CAN.
You WILL.
taking the last shot with you,
Cassandra
