Take Your Shot
“You miss 100% of the shots
you never take.”
Wayne Gretzky
How many times have you stopped short of going after something you
really, really wanted, because of all the ‘reasons’ you thought you
couldn’t have it?
I’m too young…
I’m too old…
I don’t know enough about…
I might fail…
I’ll make a fool of myself…
What will they think?…
I don’t have the money…
I don’t have the time…
I’ll wait until the kids are out of college…
By
giving in to these fear-based thoughts (and remember, F.E.A.R. is False
Evidence Appearing Real), you’ve decided, before you even take any
action, what the outcome will be.
You guarantee that it won’t happen by choosing to take no action.
“You miss 100% of the shots you never take.”
What if you went ahead and took the shot anyway?
Yes,
you may miss. You may miss by a mile. You may get halfway to your goal.
You may discover that simply learning to play the game is
accomplishment enough.
You may exceed your goal by your wildest dreams.
And you may have a ton of fun in the process!
What’s the shot you’ve been thinking about taking? What’s the first
step you could take towards your ‘shot’? When will you take it?
