Each time I play Badminton, I realize how much it can teach you - critical life lessons.
- Learning to make quick calls - to touch each shot (to hit it back) or leave it as it might be going out of the court.
- Accepting bad/wrong decisions and carrying on
- Most importantly, loosing a point or two/ a game isn't a big deal. It's important to be there on the court, playing and giving it your best at THAT point in time.
- For every chance of loosing, there is an equal chance to win
- Being fully present and attentive - there is absolutely no chance for any other thought to make its way through
The best is, at the end of a tiring, sweaty set of matches, enjoy the feeling of having done something good with your body and mind.
The aches and pains later remind you of muscles you didn't know existed - so much like the rough times you go through in life with strength you didn't know you had :)
