Who are you volleying with?

In tennis, the majority of the game is spent volleying.

I hit the ball, you hit it back.

Repeat.

Repeat.

Repeat.

This is like a lot of engagements in life.

I throw something your way, you throw something back.

So, who are you volleying with?

People who are negative and sceptical of what you’re doing? People who deny the facts (as you see them)? People who don’t believe in the work you have chosen to focus your life on?

It’s unlikely that you will change anyone’s mind. It’s unlikely to make you better. But if you volley with them you will repeat, repeat, repeat…

Perhaps you’re better to play with someone else.

You have that choice.
