I’ve come to realize that the language of TENNIS—

Break, Serve, Advantage, Fault, Love—

is the Language of Life.

BREAK

Be willling to bend as far as you need to in life,

but don’t allow ourself to BREAK.

Refusing to give up, refusing to BREAK,

is the sign of strong character.

SERVE

SERVE others with a glad heart.

Never say you’re too busy to SERVE.

Relatioships grow and strengthen

when your goal is to SERVE rather than rule.

Being blessed with another day to live

is being blessed with another opportunity to SERVE.

ADVANTAGE

ADVANTAGES and obstacles are part of life—

they are the agonies and ecstasies

that serve to teach us about the art of living,

learning to overcome problems and experience triumph.

To every advantage you face in life,

there is a corresponding ADVANTAGE if you look for it.

FAULT

Rather than finding FAULT,  find a rememdy.

Don’t find FAULT with someone

before you take the time to understand them.

The FAULTS we find in others

are often the ones we see in ourselves.

LOVE

When you arise in the morning,

think of what a privilege it is

to be alive, to enjoy life….to express LOVE.

The greatest gift you can give someone

is unconditional LOVE.

LOVE yourself and be happy with being you.

The GOOD BOOK says….LOVE one another

and yourself.
