October 2025. It’s the end of the 3rd quarter. That means, there's still plenty of game left in 2025!
The end of September marks the end of the 3rd quarter of 2025. Nine months in the books with three left to go. Basketball season starts this week and we are well underway in football season. Like the calendar year, both sports play four quarters until the game is finished. As you can tell, I am a huge fan of sports but I’m actually a bigger fan of sports quotes.
Sports quotes help us get through difficult and frustrating times. They motivate us to just keep going.
Some of my favorite sports quotes include:
“It's not whether you get knocked down, it’s whether you get back up.” Vince Lombardi
“There may be people with more talent than you, but there’s no excuse for anyone to work harder than you.” Derek Jeter
Quotes like these can help get you to the finish line. Scroll through your phone and find some goals you listed at the start of 2025. How far along are you with those goals?
Are you going to look back on 2025 and say, “I had a great year!”
These are questions I am asking myself even now.
One of my main goals for 2025 was to get my weight under 200 lbs. Not there yet...
Another goal was to get back to traveling like I did pre-COVID. Back then, I was traveling to six countries a year on average. I'm at four countries as of October. Not quite there yet...
You, like myself, may not accomplish the goals you set out for yourself in 2025 and that is quite alright. I can make peace with that. It’s NOT all or nothing in the world of self enrichment.
Billy Jean King once famously said, “Champions keep playing until they get it right."
We got another quarter left, so get in the game and let’s keep playing!
