100% of the Shots You Don’t Take Don’t Go in

by

It is very easy for us to talk ourselves out of taking action. Perhaps we didn't get the results we wanted in a previous attempt. It is also quite possible that we became discouraged after a series of failed attempts to accomplish a variety of different things. Not trying because we are afraid of not succeeding is a result of our fear of failure. Fear of failure can be paralyzing for all of us.

Is it not better to try and fail than to not try at all? The best way to overcome fear failure is to accomplish something successfully. The best way to accomplish something successfully is to take the necessary actions to do so.

Never, ever be afraid to try. If you continue to try and never stop trying you will experience success beyond your wildest dreams.

100% of the shots you don't take don't go in – Wayne Gretzky

Don’t Judge Each Day by the Harvest You Reap, but by the Seeds You Plant

“Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant.” – Robert Louis Stevenson

When I first saw this quote it made me reflect upon how easy it is to seek short-term, instant gratification rather than long-term sustainable results. The seeds we must plant are the actions we take in order to reach our goals which are our harvests.

What if we asked ourselves each morning, “what seeds will I plant today in the field of my life?”. We could also ask ourselves each evening, “what seeds did I plant today in the field of my life?”.

When we find that at the end of the day we have planted many seeds we can be pleased because we know there will be bountiful harvests in our future.
