🏏 Life is a Test Match, Not a T20

We often treat life like a T20 game—quick, flashy, and all about instant results. But in reality, life is more like a 5-day Test match—it demands patience, endurance, strategy, and the ability to bounce back from setbacks.

💡 Here’s how life mirrors a Test match:

1️⃣ Day 1: Preparation & Foundation
You build your technique, values, and mindset—just like a batsman settling in and playing each ball with care.

2️⃣ Day 2: Consistency Matters
You don’t chase wild success. You build your innings, session by session. The ones who stay focused, last longer.

3️⃣ Day 3: Life Throws Bouncers
Rough patches are inevitable—be it a career slump, personal loss, or self-doubt. But like a good Test player, you duck, defend, and survive.

4️⃣ Day 4: The Comeback
With grit and resilience, you take back control. You build a partnership with your goals. You turn the game around.

5️⃣ Day 5: The Declaration
You look back and realize it wasn’t about how fast you scored—it was about how well you played the long game.

🔥 Life’s not about flashy sixes. It’s about playing through tough spells, weathering storms, and staying in the crease when it matters most.

📌 So the next time things feel slow or uncertain, remind yourself—you’re in a Test match. Stay grounded. Stay patient. Play the long game.
