As we get into the frenzy of March Madness, basketball fans from all over the country are going to be cheering on their favorite teams and hoping that they make it to the Final Four. However, those who watch know that the challenge is tough, but can be achieved if you have the right team and support in place. Much like an individual going through adversity. When situations plague our lives the first thing we do is reach out to our team or support system. At the time it may seem as though you have a huge team of individuals that tell you that they "have your back", somewhat of a "Sweet 16" and as the obstacles become more and more difficult to face, you may start to notice that your support team is getting smaller as if they are eliminating themselves from the madness, which leads you to find yourself with fewer team members, but stronger nonetheless. These people can be viewed as your "Elite 8", meaning that they aren't as quick to leave you in the midst of your storm, but may falter in their support as your valley becomes deeper. However, you can't let the loss of supporters/team players get you down because it's all a part of a divine plan. Some people are made to stay on the court with you and some are made to ride the bench, while others have to be cut by the coaches "spiritual scissors" (thanks A.T). Nevertheless, just like the NCAA Tournament, only the strongest teams survive. Well, it's no different with people who are there to see you through adversity. You see, the goal is to get to your "Final Four" because this is when you know that you have the team above all teams and you are in a position to not only fight, but WIN. So, it's a must that you go through your "March Madness" process and discern who has the ability to sustain and support you through your lows as well as your highs, only then you will be able to create your Dream Team that will be your "Final Four".
