Victory comes to
those who stay in the game.  It is always
easier to step off the field and sit on the sidelines, but far more beneficial
to participate.  Yes, you would like to
take a time-out from time to time, and that is quite understandable.  It is also quite acceptable, unless you check
out for so long that the body grows stiff. 
Remain limber.  Remain
flexible.  Stay in the game, but rely on
your teammates for assistance.  You are
not a solo player, and you need not be the star.  You are all equal players, all equally important.  What is victory?  It is the satisfaction that comes from having
stayed in the game and having done your best. 
In that regard, all are winners. 
Play on in this game of life. 
Give it your best, even when you get kicked around a bit.  In reality, there is no score.
