The love story between the Cleveland Cavaliers and its star player is amazing, yet full of ups and downs.
Over these three years, there were a lot of situations that could have caused them to give up and go onto something else, but they pressed on to become the 2016 NBA champions.
If you want to win in your relationships, you can learn a lot from the Cleveland Cavs.
Their journey is very similar to how relationships can be in many cases, and here's how:
1) The Big Break Up. Many years ago, the star player chose to leave Cleveland to try something new. At times in our relationships, we fall out with the one we love. We tend to walk away in hopes of finding something better. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
2) Humility. In order for the team to work, the star player had to humble himself and make the decision to come back to a team he had left many years before. When you're in a relationship, humility is a must. You must be willing to admit when you're wrong and at times say sorry even when you feel you were right.
3) There was chemistry. For a relationship to work, everyone must regroup and be able to play their part on a consistent basis, or the relationship will not work out.
4) Hurt and pain. During this journey to the championship, there were hurtful and painful situations that rendered many of its players useless at times due to injuries. Relationships can come with the pain of betrayal, hurtful words, misunderstandings, and many other things that can knock you down and cause you not to play or perform at your fullest potential.
5) Required Time and Patience. In order for them to win this championship, the Cavs needed time. The first year was a time of getting together and getting to know one another. The second year, they made it to the finals, but no championship. After the third try they made it. Relationships are the same way. It takes time to get to know a person. Everything doesn't come together all at once, so patience is required.
6) Passion. The question is "How bad do you want it to work?" The Cleveland Cavs had a passion to win. Despite all of their setbacks and their 3-1 deficit during the finals, they were passionate about the game of basketball and winning the championship. In a relationship, you must be passionate enough about the person and the relationship for it to work. You can't become selfish and self-centered or you will miss out on the opportunity to become a champion.
7) Hard work. Nothing worth value comes without hard work. The Cavs worked hard for this championship, and they won! If you want your relationships to succeed, you must be willing to put in the work. It won't come by saying you want it to work. Nor will it come from passion alone. You must do your part to make the relationship work.
Like basketball, relationships are complicated and require a lot of time, effort, and energy. The Cavs wanted to win the championship and they put forth the effort they needed over time for it to work. Each person played their part and they earned the right to become champions.
The question is will you see your relationship like a basketball champion and do what you need for it to work? Or will you give up and make excuses because you didn't win?
