Too Competitive?

Two weeks ago, I played a game of flag football. (read about it here)
I am still sore.
This week, I was wondering, perhaps I’m too competitive for my own good. While we were playing, I knew I was going to hurt–I was hurting while I was playing. I would dive, and as I was getting up every time, the thought crossed my mind, ‘Why am I doing this? Should I stop’
And of course, I didn’t stop. I couldn’t stop. I wanted to win. I couldn’t let my team down.
Are you ever too competitive for your own good? Perhaps not even with sports, but maybe in cards, board games, conversation, debate…
I think some competitive nature is good, but is it possible to be too competitive for our own good?

Sorry again about the irrelevant comment. When I click on your blog I still see your pensive face, and I can’t find the pictures you were talking about at the bottom.

Yes I do, I find myself struggling to see Christ play a role in competition and what that looks like.
