Overwhelming

I watched the NFL final last night.  I did want Melbourne to win but it was not to be.  14/6 is not a runaway victory, but being in front when the whistle goes signalling it is over is what matters.
I am way more comfortable with overwhelming victory.  As it was I was not assured of a Penrith victory until there was only about two minutes to go.  One more try from Melbourne could have made the final result unknown till the end.
I tend to feel I can relax when a team is in a runaway position.  Relaxing can’t be too early though.  I would have never dreamed Penrith would run down the Bronco’s last year.  I remember seeing them do that years ago too.  I would not have believed they could score as many tries in around five minutes.
I don’t think it makes me greedy.  I just have a fairly high concept of enough.  Overwhelming to me makes victory by my opposition an impossibility.  I am comfortable when something is over.  Taking something out of the realm of “as good as over” to “genuinely over.”   
Having won at the final whistle means to me genuinely over.    When a win is a runaway win and I a confident of the result is when I can bring on other players and make everyone a part of the victory.  Until I really feel that is the case, I cannot risk it.
That is why overwhelming is important to me.  “Just” is too stressful.  Of course “just” is a win and I will take it even if I am miles in front or just in front.  But I know I feel better when I am in a “miles in front” position.  Even then I cannot underestimate my opposition.  They come wanting to win.  Hunger and ability are a dangerous combination.
So my team did not win last night but I want my life to be a win.  An overwhelming win preferably.
