I almost drafted "T.O" in Fantasy Football last year. After 12 rounds, he was still there. Surely some team would take a flyer and pick him up after having a pretty good year. Nope. No takers. When reading reasons why from Football GM's, many of the responses were of the same ilk...."He's ego-centric, not a team player." "He's a cancer to the locker room." "While he may make some great plays, not worth the risk for team damage control."
David Robinson, former NBA star said this "NBA Championship teams have this in common: They play on the same team with one goal in mind. Each player contributes his own gifts and efforts so that the greater goal- winning- can be reached. But players who seek there own glory tend to drive the team away from success. The goal is not for our own glory. In fact, trying to make life all about us pushes happiness out of reach"
It's the me first, or me-centric thinking that can take a toll on our families, businesses and marriages. For some, life's troubles, trials and tribulations, can be magnified when the belief becomes rampant that life is all about them.
In Marriage we're on the same team. Expectations can run high, so can emotions when expectations aren't met. A house divided against itself cannot stand; so together, work towards the goal with the end in mind.
