JUNE! How time flies - when were
we animatedly air kissing one another and happily chirping
‘Happy New Year’? Didn’t seem that long ago, but it obviously
is! June? Indeed, how time flies (even when you’re not having
fun). Can I be a bit mischievous and pose the inevitable
question - What have you done with the last six months? How many
of the goals you set for yourself made it into the net (even
with a penalty kick opportunity)? Okay, that’s a foul
question; very touchy and rather sensitive at this point in
time.
Okay, here’s another one to ponder; have you been merely
loitering on the sidelines and occasionally watching whose ball
is offside (even though you’re not a referee), or have you been
sitting there applauding the winning side (in this case MAN U,
the current Premiership and European champions who emerged
winner over billionaire Chelsea in a keenly contested penalty
shoot -out)? Ever thought of sporting that coveted

Jersey; metaphorically speaking,
that is? I mean have you thought of going from the sideline
into the main arena? Oh, I forgot, you were born a Cheerleader
(emphasis on the prefix, of course). You know what? That’s OK too
but here’s what John Maxwell, renowned author on Motivation has to
say about “loitering”: ’’If you’re not doing something with your
life, it doesn’t matter what time it is”. So whether it has been six
months or six years since you made a decision to do something with
your life it really doesn’t matter as long as you’re not doing that
‘something’. And again, says Maxwell, “When you don’t want to do
something, one excuse is as good as another”.
