Is it worth it?

For those that know me or are unfortunate enough to be on the other side of the phone or MSN when I whinge about the pain would know that I get injured through sports quite regularly. Basically it is to a point where when I get home from either soccer or badminton, the first thing mum says to me is – so which part did you hurt yourself this time? Sometimes, it’s not a full on injury but muscle tiredness that requires some heat to fasten up the healing process. Other times, the pain is too much and limits my movement but rarely do I need professional treatment. It isn’t so bad I always tell my mum, and she always fires back with – why do you have to go all out, is it worth it? Hmm…

Is it worth it? Of course it is. Once I start playing, I don’t care about anything other than giving it my 100%. Even if I was injured, if I was still able to run and contribute I would still be on the field. For most people, however, they think that I am crazy. Then it led me to think about times when I get curious why certain people would go a long way for something or someone, are they crazy? I guess whether something is worthy of your time or energy is really a very subjective choice. Sometimes it is difficult to express why but in the end, if you feel something is worth it then go for it!
