I mentioned in yesterday’s blog that we went bowling last Friday for the RISE social.

I’ve actually thought of a mammoth 5 separate observations I’m going to share with you from that evening.

Firstly, it’s not easy to blog for nearly 3,000 consecutive days, so I need all the ideas I can get!

But, more importantly, they’re all good – I promise.

As I said yesterday, those on my lane had the bumpers up.

I appreciate I could have knocked them down but we had my 6-year-old with us on my lane so that’s my excuse.

Even with the bumpers up, I didn’t score all that well.

I did particularly badly on the second shots when there was some specific pins I was aiming for.

And, without the bumpers, I would have got a few gutter balls.

But that’s life.

Part of the game.

We wouldn’t just go home, if we got a gutter ball would we?

Say “I’ll come back again next week and start again”.

In bowling if something goes less well then we’d like it to, that doesn’t have any impact whatsoever on our next attempt.

We just try again next time, don’t we?

And life can be much the same if we choose it to be.

If we have a meal where we eat or drink more than we intended to, that doesn’t have to have any impact whatsoever on any of our upcoming eating and drinking choices.

Unless we choose it to.

There is no “writing it off”.

That’s not a thing and it doesn’t make sense when evaluated.

Life can become much simpler and easier if we treat every decision we make with a degree of innocence.

We just make what is the best decision for us at that point, irrespective of other recent decisions.

Worst case scenario we just get a lower score then we might ideally have liked.

But it’ll be a much higher score than if we just stormed off mid game (and I will, I guarantee, make sure you get a much better score on our programme than you will lone wolfing it –> www.myrise.co.uk/apply) .

Much love,

Jon ‘Downpipe’ Hall
