There is a old saying floating around out there that I don’t agree with in all situations. It goes like this, “Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.”
I think we should use curling as a metaphor for life. One could say “Yea that’s pretty close, average, I mean in curling that would not be on the button but It’s close enough.” or maybe they could say “In curling that rock wouldn’t be even close, in fact it would be taken off the rink.” or perhaps they could say something about setting up a guard around the button in an effort to make the shot impossible.
Why not compare life to pool? People could talk about dealing with obstacles, that seems to inspire people. “Hey, just jump that eight ball in your life and sink the twelve in the corner.” A man or woman could say enthusiastically. Why not?
I am sure there’s some correlation between forests and life, a thing about community. A person could say “Hey roots are important.” or some such thing.
The possibilities are endless.
