In fact, I'd say it's the main part of the whole game. Focus on your movement, your serves, your swings, your footwork. Don't be distracted. Don't think about anything else that creeps into your mind. Don't let those lost points and little mistakes bring you down. Focus on improving yourself and your game.
There's so much I can bring from a game of tennis, and apply it to my life. I've been so lax, so lazy, apathetic and unconcerned about my summer. I keep thinking to myself: I need a job, I need money, I need to figure out issues regarding school. And then I think: I want to see Brianne, I want to play my video games, I want to take a road trip, I want to move to Boone already and live in my house. All I really want is to have a carefree summer. But the time has passed; I had plenty of opportunities to do that as a child. Now, I have to live in the real world. I have to be an adult. I have to get a job. I have to focus on what matters the most.
Which, in a contradictory sort of way, some wants do matter the most. Some things have to happen, or life isn't lived to it's fullest. I'm not as happy as I could be if I don't experience these certain wants.
Regardless, I have to prioritize the needs.
Tonight, I will go to sleep before midnight. Tomorrow, I will wake up early. I will apply for more jobs, I will drive around town to find work. I will get online and sort out my financial aid and class registration. I will make time to eat and relax, but for the most part, I will be productive. In my downtime, I will turn away from unproductive video games, and I will read a book or work on an art project. I will look up summer classes still available. I will research graduate schools. I will clean my room and my car. I will exercise.
And most importantly, I will think of you, and how much I miss you.
