When the pressure's on.

"How do you act when the pressure's on? When the chance for victory is almost gone.
When fortune's star has refused to shine. When the ball is on your 5 yard line.

How do you act when the going's rough. Does your spirit lag when breaks are tough?
Or, is there in you a flame that glows, Brighter as fiercer the battle grows?

How hard, how long will you fight the foe? That's what the world would like to know!

Cowards can fight when they're out ahead. The up-hill grind shows a thoroughbred!
You wish for success? Then tell me son. How do you act when the pressure's on?"

This might be my favorite story from football. This is a quote we have in our book about handling adversity. The first time that I read this I thought that it was the best thing I could have heard before a game. Too bad it was a Monday. Well, I think about this quote all the time. At any point in time some form of adverse situation could pop out of nowhere, and something bad happen. The things that can happen after the situation happens, there are only 2 ways to go. Either you can fold up, and say it's game over, or you can shake it off, step up, and go after it. The outcome of every game, of every play, of every second of your life, depends on how you handle what just happened. You can take one off, and let something potentially REALLY bad happen. Or you can get back up, and go right back at it.Thing is, people don't see how this pertains to life. This pertains to life because You might be going through a rough time, or something may be getting you down. Are you going to let the jaws of life(not the good kind) clench you down? Or, are you going to give it your all every single day. Live life with all you have, and you will not only feel better, but you shall glorify God in the process. That's all I can think of, so I'll see ya later.
