“We can either watch life from the sidelines, or actively participate… Either we let self-doubt and feelings of inadequacy prevent us from realizing our potential, or embrace the fact that when we turn our attention away from ourselves, our potential is limitless”. -Christopher Reeves
“Let me tell you something kid, everybody gets one chance to do something great. Most people hardly ever take the chance, either because they’re too scared or because they’re unable to recognize it when it spits on their shoes. This is your big chance, and you should never let it go by…” -Babe Ruth, Sandlot
“Just play, have fun. Enjoy the game!” -Michael Jordan
Culture today has made it so easy to let life pass us by. We have so many avenues to waste our time and never have to leave our house. We have TVs, video games, streaming services, and the internet to name a few. We can spend hours being passive and watching other people live their lives through these means. With food delivery services and workout videos, we don’t even have to leave our homes to survive!
But, life can get pretty boring and lonely in this regard. We are meant to be social and participatory. Our lives don’t work unless we do as well. Many people don’t want to try unless they are positive they will win or become successful. But, the struggle and losses are part of the process. Even the best athletes and CEOs have had their share of losses on their way to the top. They got in there, made efforts to get better, lost and stumbled along the way, and finally made it to the top. Bottom line, in order to gain progress and reach your goals, you need to get out there and try! As Always, Eat, Move, and Improve!
