We have exchanged enough messages for you to know that I am quite passionate about my favourite NHL team, and for me to know that you are more than passingly familiar with the sport. And what you wrote just lines up perfectly with some of the best analysis points that I have heard watching it, applicable, I think, to life in general.
You don't need to worry about winning the Stanley Cup if you can accomplish winning (most of) your games. And you don't have to worry about winning the game if you can win each period. And you don't have to worry about winning the period, if you can just win your shift. And doing that requires understanding your specific role, and what is required of you. To have specific objectives.
And successfully doing these things gives you 'momentum', a word you used, and a word that those same analysts (very correctly) use, and that you can actually see when watching a game.
I am so doing this!!!
Really hit the nail on the head.
Thank you very much , Melissa.

A great way to achieve clarity - and with conviction. Keep it up Melissa!
