The Harmony of Teams

Recently, I had the opportunity to attend my son’s choir concert. Two things struck me:
1. My son is in a choir.
2. He absolutely loves it.

During the concert, several choirs performed — let’s call them good, better, and best.

The good choir — which included my son and a few of his football friends — stood on stage with courage. They hit some good notes and gave it their all.

But when the best choir stepped up — a mix of young men and women from different backgrounds, voices, and ranges — something powerful happened. Their harmony filled the room.

They didn’t compete for attention. They complemented each other. Every voice mattered, and together they created something beautiful by following their teacher’s direction.

Too often, we throw rocks at the very team we’re on. We argue, divide, and undermine one another — all while the real mission sits untouched, waiting for unity.

Today, take a look around your foxhole — your family, your workplace, your church, your community, your humanity — and ask yourself:

How can I complement the notes next to me instead of tearing them down?

Because when we stop competing and start harmonizing, we don’t just sound better — we become better.
