That was what I had today during Arsenal and Tottenhum Hotspur game. It might be some caught it and the confidence it is fulfilled. I was excited as well. But the outcome did not tarry with the predicated result. What was it then? I remember confirming if I really had to put 2 for arsenal and for Tottenhum Hotspur to put Spurs. That's what they were being called on the radio anyway. So I put Spurs as I had confirmed.
The result was now written as Arsenal 2 - Spurs 0. The game ended Arsenal 2 - Spurs 3. I thought at the end of the game what could it be? Am I hearing from God? I waited and accepted my fault maybe it was wishful thinking.
But the words I had to confirm and yet that is how it seems to be. I checked my motivation, yes I did want to win. I could win as I see it I could also win as God desires.
What did I see in the end? Arsenal might have aimed for the goals they wanted. Tottenhum my have been prepared for anything. When Arsenal got their expected goals, they may have planned for a defensive game. Tottenhum might have anticipated this and might have been prepared to attack a defensive team. So anything unlike our interpretated expectation makes the prediction or prophesy false and we lose faith easily.
In their own strength Arsenal could have recovered from the unexpected change but after the half-time with little coaching, and already in a different game mindset it was difficult to recover. For in-game success, the supports act as spurs they incite or stimulate. For someone who is achieving less than his potential and is not encouraged, his performance dwindles more and more. I remember someone commenting Arsenal playing a brilliant game during first-half. But someone commented of an ever deteriorating performance in the second-half.
So here goes: Arsenal the Team won 2 goals. The spurs, the supporters won no goal. The goals they were supposed to win, were supposed to be in spurring (supporting the losing team). The defence they were supposed to give, was in supporting the losing team.
So indeed Arsenal 2 - Spurs 0.
Whenever you do good and work hard your success is your own. You benefit from it alone and those who find help from the help you give.
There are some that make want to make you look bad out of jealous. The break what you build and blame it on you. In the end there are some who do see your success. And these acknowledge. These are the ones who are for you than those that have found fault with you.
Understanding that you are not as bad as others want to make you look, can help you spur yourself on despite the noise from those filled with jealous because of your success.
