I watched a bit of the NE Patriots game last night and saw Tom Brady on the ground because his protection had failed him. As the most important asset on the field, Tom Brady, one of the game’s best quarterbacks, was left  unprotected and therefore received a hard hit from the opposing team. And that got me to thinking…

How much pain do we suffer because we fail to protect our assets? Your soul, your heart, your intellect and your emotions are all assets that when healthy help you to perform better. When they are left unprotected you leave them open to attacks and blitzes. It happens everyday. Proverbs speaks of protecting wisdom, cherishing her like a valuable stone. Why is that? Because wisdom is an asset. You cannot live life mistreating or neglecting assets in your life.

Last year, the NE Patriots lost Tom Brady early in the season because of a knee injury. Whether his injury could have been avoided or not is debatable. What is not debatable though is the mandate given from the coach to those linemen. PROTECT THE QUARTERBACK!

And you should do the same…

Survive and Thrive!
