We all know people who are great cheerleaders.  They are often on the sidelines at every event cheering people on. You may even be the person who constantly puts yourself on the back burner to support everyone else’s agenda.  While there is nothing wrong with being a great supporter you have to make sure that at some point you play in the game.  Now there are those who may be saying everyone serves their own function on a team and that is true in certain aspects. In order to make sure that all parties are sharpening their skills all members must play in the game including the cheerleaders.  When everyone has an opportunity to play in the game things like jealously and envy don’t have time to set in, people’s skills don’t get dull and everyone gets to feel like they’ve contributed equally to the victory. If you’ve been on the sidelines for a while get in the game for a quarter or two!  Don’t get stuck in the role of perpetual cheerleader!
