Happy Thursday morning team! I hope everyones weekend was great. My weekend was absolutely fantastic. It was the final weekend for my girls soccer. My youngest daughter won their championship and my eldest daughters team went to a three way tie for first and beat the undefeated team. Then some really fun after soccer parties. I had the pleasure of helping on both teams as a support role and a coach. It was wonderful.
When I think about where my kids teams were during the season and applied it to life things began to become apparent. It is pretty simple. If you give up you will never know what you could accomplish. Both my kids teams did just that. Through some early loses they prevailed to be real champs. My eldest daughters team wasn't one of those teams that everyone was talking championship about, but because they never gave up they defeated the undefeated. Victory!
This got me to thinking. If you never try and are willing to fail at it then try again then you will never know what you could accomplish. By sticking to the same thing day in and day out and never changing a thing you will never know what you could accomplish. It takes change to know what you can accomplish. What is failure? Failure is simply the road to success. Ask me how many times I fell on my face doing push ups, ask me how many times I had a few days of bad eating. I failed and that to me was a success. Why you ask? Because when I fail I know that I am trying. By setting a goal I can account for failure. If I don't have a goal I can determine failure. Pick a goal and start failing with me. Edison invented the light bulb not because he got it right the first time, Edison invented the light bulb because he failed at it thousands of times. What if he wasn't willing to change and fail? Don't look at failure as a negative. Look at failure as the road to success.
Let failure build you, let failure excite your, let failure make you stronger!
When I hear the words,"I tried coach" I get goose pimples. Why? Because I know that person will succeed as long as the words "try" are there. Start "trying" with me, Start "trying" with this team. There are so many of us going through the same things. Join one of my many groups on the web and open up some dialog. Thats what teams are for.
CHANGE, TRY, AND CHANGE YOUR WAY TO SUCCESS!
