I often rely on three important life lessons that I’ve unfortunately learned the hard way.
Don’t be a prisoner of the moment.
Don’t let your emotions control the narrative.
Don’t romanticize a situation, relationship, or event and build it up to be more than what it truly was.
Those sound like dating tips, but they’re actually words to live by for the avid sports fan.
As spring practice picks up steam and the 2019 season begins to emerge on the horizon, Texas fans especially should keep those reminders handy. I know I will. But not because I’m trying to stop myself from being a prisoner of the moment or disallow my emotions to control the narrative or romanticize a situation or event for more than what it is.
