Take yourself out the game

A word from A.I

Growing up a basketball fan, I heard stories of Allen Iverson never wanting to come out the game. A.I. wanted to play the entire 48 minutes and would get upset when his coach took him out.

Yesterday, I was speaking to a colleague who said he had so many things going on he became sick. He wasn’t sleeping at night, often became dizzy, and now he’s taking sleeping pills prescribed by his doctor.

This is not a game.

But life is a coach.

And sometimes you have to take yourself out the game or life will do it for you.

A few days ago during an interview, I said:

Every time you lay down at night and go to sleep, you are giving yourself a gift.

Rest.

Take yourself out the game, or life will do it for you.
