The England football team beat Slovenia to roll on into the next stages of the World Cup.
The England team didn't cross their fingers or put their hands together. They did wear red shirts however, though wearing a 'lucky' shirt isn't enough to sway things in the biggest of football stages.
So what happened? How come England got through in this match whilst a few days earlier, they participated in what was probably the worst game ever played... what on earth happened?
Well, they turned up and played the game the best they can play it. That's what happened. The passion, the flair, the purpose, the commitment, the energy, the teamwork... all of that happened because the players wanted to play and win.
Crossing fingers, praying and hoping for the best, doesn't produce the kind of results anyone wants.
Participation, activity and getting involved, works. Try it in any area of life that seems to be, 'getting away from you'.
And if you see someone heading for the cross your fingers disaster in their lives, help them untangle their fingers and show them how to get busy using those fingers to help serve someone else -- by writing a letter, dialing a phone number, lifting a blockage...
Results happen... through movement and activity -- and not through finger crossing and wishing.
