A great number of people can relate to food and sports so I find myself using them as analogies to help my patients resolve problems or as a way to under- stand what they need to do in their pursuit of happiness. So, I examined the following adages about life, living, and relationships, and related them to sports and food for you. The grass is greener on the other side When you are sitting down to dinner at one of your favorite restaurants with friends, sometimes you have difficulty deciding what to order. You finally decide and when the food comes, you look at your friends’ plate and start wishing you had ordered what they had. Looking over the fence to your neighbor’s house and thinking how wonderful their life is will only belittle your blessings, and create unhappiness with your own life. You need to be happy for your friends’ menu choices and make sure you enjoy your own meal. Besides, it is entirely possible that your dinner tastes better than theirs. He that waits on fortune is never sure of a dinner If you play “not to lose” you will most often lose the game. In a tennis match, if your goal is to simply return volley and never take the risk and go for a “winner shot” hit hard and down the line, you will more than likely lose the match. You must sometimes take risks and push the envelope to achieve success. Absence makes the heart grow fonder There was this little Italian restaurant in the college town you used to go to with your girlfriend, now wife, that had the best pepperoni pizza. You go back for your 10 year college reunion and it turns out that your memory of it far exceeds the actual flavor of that pizza. You start to recall that it was rather oily and the crust would sometimes be too crispy for your liking. It is important to be realistic and try to view your life and your relationships from a reality base instead of a skewed perception. All good things must come to an end Your baseball team is on a hot streak, winning 12 games in a row. It is extremely unlikely that you will never lose a game again. It is important to enjoy your good fortune, and accept the fact that you may have misfortune from time to time in your life. Strangers are just friends waiting to happen Ever go to a restaurant and see a peanut butter cheeseburger on the menu? I have. Peanut butter and ham- burger are two very unlikely ingredients to be together. I actually ordered it, mostly out of curiosity, and it was deli- cious. Sometimes, if you open yourself up to different people whom you have never met, you might find a great con- nection and a new great friend. Practice makes perfect Quarterbacks and wide receivers prac- tice so much together that they can actually predict each other’s moves for preciseness and perfect timing. A well practiced basketball team plays togeth- er as a cohesive group both offensively and defensively. Whenever you have a presentation, or an exam, or putting your work out for scrutiny, be sure to review it repeatedly, practice excessive- ly, and be as rehearsed as you can be. One Last Food Analogy (A bug-a-boo of mine) When fuel prices were sky high, the airlines, car services, and the trucking industry all tacked on “Fuel Sur- charges” to their rates. Now that fuel is less than half the cost compared to that time period why aren’t we getting a price break or a “Fuel Discount?” It’s like paying market price for lobster at a restaurant at $20 a pound, and contin- uing to pay the same price even when the market price is $10 a pound.
