Motivational Story - The Expert in Anything was once a Beginner too!




I want to leave you with two important thoughts below:

They are to re-emphasize the importance that each step along your journey will always be about the "Process!" That every Hall of Famer in any Sport walked the same path before you and had to Start at the Very Beginning to make their Dreams come True. 

The second is choosing your network of contacts wisely and do not allow anyone to play games with your Mindset? 

THOUGHT #1: Everyone wants to live at the top of the mountain, but all the Happiness and Growth you need to experience occurs while you’re climbing it!

THOUGHT #2:  One of the keys to Happiness is to surround yourself with people that reflect who you want to be and how you want to feel. Energy is truly contagious whereas there are relationships that can be toxic and suck the energy right out of you!

Image
  For this piece, I encourage you to set aside five minutes in your day to watch this fantastic video we are sharing from Tom Brady , the 7-time Super Bowl winning NFL quarterback! He takes time to tell you his secrets about reaching your Dreams. Tom talks about how as an athlete, he was not blessed with the physical traits that scouts seek in a prospect. That he was told by some coaches and scouts back in his early days to look for a new career. That he just wasn’t good enough. He will tell you that he had to find other traits to help him achieve his Dreams … traits like discipline, work effort and perseverance to overcome skills that he might have been lacking.

That WILL always Finds a Way! This is a highly motivating video from one of the great winning athletes of all time! Jim Loria Tom Brady Video L...

A Decision That Cost a Lifetime

Image
  This piece was one of the toughest articles I’ve ever written! It came about from a tragic situation that took place during a horrific flood that hit the Toowoomba city in Queensland,  Australia in 2011. This story involves a family of two brothers – Blake (10)  & J ordan (13) Rice and their Mother (Donna) . The mother was innocently driving to a store to buy school uniforms for her children when a massive amount of rain water broke through the central business district of their city and began to flood the area.  The family car became stuck in the floodwaters and the tide was quickly rising up at warp speed. The mother then made a desperate call to the local emergency services while standing and holding onto her kids from the top of their vehicle.  As the intense flow of water now went up and over the rooftop, it also swept the family off their feet and out into what would look like a makeshift river. Donna was quickly out of sight and nowhere to be foun...

Motivational Story - The Process

Image
For this piece, I am going to dip into the movie industry to illustrate the point about the “PROCESS”, a term every athlete hears and has engraved in the back of his or her mind on a yearly basis when competing in team sports? This will show you that no matter the sport or the profession or regardless of your experience, that you have to be totally prepared before the lights ever get turned on in order to achieve the results necessary to advance in your trade? So let's look at the Process Hollywood actor Rami Malek subjected himself to when he got the leading role in “Bohemian Rhapsody” where he played legendary frontman Freddie Mercury of the famed rock band QUEEN back in 2018. This actor took an entire year to learn every single aspect about Mercury’s life and left no stone unturned. He quickly took up residence in London where much of the movie would be filmed and had himself fitted for prosthetic dentures to replicate the unique bucked teeth and shape of Mercury’s mouth. He ...
