Inspire Moment #72: Pivot Foot

For those of you that know anything about basketball, I’m sure you know what your pivot foot is.  For those of you who don’t, it’s when you stop your dribble you can move but only by using one foot, your pivot foot.  You can step with the other foot as long as the pivot foot is planted, you can spin on your pivot foot to see different parts of the court and to see what teammate is open to pass the ball to, etc.

Well, Inspire Moment #72 is Pivot Foot.  Imagine you are the one with the ball that has stopped the dribble.  You might be thinking you’re stuck and helpless, but I want you to “flip the switch” and change your mind-set.  You aren’t stuck.  You just have a new way of looking at your circumstance.  You now have your Pivot Foot and you can spin, step, etc. to see a new perspective in this game of life.  It may not be the way you are used to playing, but the game isn’t over.

The Pivot Foot is a great tool to have in your bag.  So whenever you feel stuck, just rely on and use your Pivot Foot to keep the ball moving in your game of life.
