hmmm…..
The NBA final game was last night and the Dallas Mavericks won it 105-95. it was a sweet victory; one that the Mavs had coveted for many years. You would think that the players would want to savor every moment of the success of the game and the season. But one of their star players, Dirk Nowitzki walked off the court as the buzzer sounded. What would cause a player to miss so personal and historical moment as their team’s first championship win?
Dirk was overcome with emotion and overwhelmed by the excitement of the circumstance. He said, “I had to get a moment. I was crying a bit. I was a little emotional …..I actually didn’t want to come out for the trophy, but the guys talked me into it.”
Sometimes life is like that. Our emotions get the best of us. We become overwhelmed by a situation and have to step back for a minute or two. As Nowitzki can attest, there’s nothing wimpy about it either. Whether it be joy or sorrow, anger or remorse, fear or courage; there is something to be said for moving out of the situation and recovering our composure before we act.
Next time you are in that emotional place, no matter if it is in a room with a few or your closest friends – or if it is in a crowded stadium of thousands of fans, step back. Make your space and your emotions will subside. Find your serenity and be at peace.
