My Two Cents: Covert

We all possess the indirect power, whether we realize it or not, to elevate people and circumstances or to bring them down.

At any given time, in any situation, our attitudes will serve to impact and in some cases literally determine how things will turn out.

I watched the NY Knicks, within a span of twenty four hours, lose a game by nearly 50 points and then, on the very next day, come from behind, 17 points down, to win.

I was intrigued, after the first game, by what I imagined was at the root of the teams lack of responsiveness and fire that resulted in such an uncharacteristic loss. Basketball fans would agree that it is nearly impossible for any team in the NBA to lose by that many points, no matter how good the opposing team is. NBA players are recognized as some of the best athletes in the world of professional sports.

So, then why?

What would explain such a dramatic setback and subsequent and equally dramatic comeback all in the same 24 hour day? I have my personal theory, which I'll probably keep to myself so that it doesn't interfere with yours, but I do think that it bears repeating that:

We all possess the indirect power, whether we realize it or not, to elevate people and circumstances or to bring them down.

At any given time, in any situation, our attitudes will serve to impact and in some cases literally determine how things will turn out.

That's my two cent's (for whatever it's worth).
