Tightrope
Life is a tightrope. Everyone’s walking on it but no one’s sure whether their next step will see them still on the rope or not.
Common sense says you SHOULD be unsure, there is very little holding you from falling off. But there is something you CAN be sure of, and that’s yourself. You can be confident in how you’re balancing yourself and of taking control of that small area you have a say in. Forget the rest. Ground yourself in that bit of security and let that be the source of your confidence.
Those that can radiate this confidence become the winners, they understand that it doesn’t pay to worry about all the other variables they can’t control.
What it takes
Everyone wants to be great, but the second someone else working on their own greatness comes around we stop and stare. Mesmerized.
Get off the sidelines.
Give up what others can’t. Do what others don’t. Learn what others won’t.
Instead of just watching them, get in the game. Jump on the court and THEN ask them how they do it.
Excuse me, what’s the secret? You already know it, you’re right here in the arena with me.
Doing is the funnest thing on this earth, once you’re already going. Before you begin- it might be the toughest obstacle you’ve ever faced. But once you conquer your greatest enemy, idleness, then what else is out there that can stop you? Not much.
