Why it doesn’t matter who won the game (but I hope it was OSU)

Colleagues,
 
MVP: Sometimes something BIG doesn’t actually matter.
 
Be patient, there is a leadership lesson here.
 
Last Saturday, The Ohio State University Buckeyes played the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. The game is considered the marquee matchup of the week (no offense meant to the SEC, ACC, and Pac-12 or 14 or 4???).
 
I have no idea what the outcome was because I’m writing this message before the game was played.
 
This was billed as a BIG game with national title implications, etc…
 
However, for Ohio State, this game actually does not matter. If the Buckeyes win, but lose to Michigan, they are likely out of the playoffs. If they lose to Notre Dame, but beat everyone else and win the Big10 title, they are in.
 
Why are we talking football?
 
There are times when something seems to be of monumental importance, but is in fact inconsequential in the grand scheme of things.
 
Today’s intention: Think about the biggest priorities or pain points you have, and the efforts to address them:
  1. Is there one or more which, if nothing changes, won’t actually matter that much? 
  2. What could you do instead with the money, time, and attention?
  3. What could you do instead with your energy and emotion? [Thanks Jan!]

Cheers!

Frederick
