The 4th Quarter

The 4th Quarter: Rise Up and Finish Like a Champion!

By Rod Patterson, MBA

We are in the 4th quarter! The year is grinding to its final pages. The 4th quarter isn’t for coasting, it’s for charging hard to the finish line. This is your moment to seize, to own, to make legendary.

Whether you’re closing out a fiscal year, chasing a personal goal, or just staring in the mirror at your own progress, these final months are your opportunity to finish strong.

Are you behind? Are you ahead? Can you make a comeback? Can you hold the lead?

In Super Bowl LI, Tom Brady and the Patriots reminded the world how special the 4th quarter can be. Down 28–3 late in the third quarter, they didn’t flinch. They clawed back. They scored 25 unanswered points to tie the game, then sealed the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history with a touchdown in overtime.

You grind in the 4th quarter. Championship pedigree is forged in the fire of pressure, fatigue, and doubt. The 4th quarter is where legacies are written.

Maybe you’ve had setbacks. Maybe the scoreboard isn’t in your favor. But guess what? It’s the 4th quarter. The game isn’t over. You’ve got time on the clock and fuel in the tank. So dig deep. Recommit. Reignite.

If you’re ahead, don’t get comfortable. Leaders finish with authority. Lock in. Push through. Finish like a champion. The 4th quarter is calling, answer with everything you’ve got.

Let’s go.
