When I was younger, I dreamed of becoming a professional basketball player. I would practice a little bit, but not enough to get to an elite level. I held a basic belief that many children hold to this day — I thought that people were either born with talent or they weren’t. I looked at basketball players like Michael Jordan who is still the GOAT (Greatest of all time) Sorry Lebron, Kobe etc. Jordan was and still is the best…. I would look at Jordan and say things like wow he is so lucky to have that level of talent. I didn’t believe it was possible that I could ever reach close to his level.
Maybe, just maybe if I would have known what I know now I could have been a professional basketball player. If I could have known and seen what was possible way back then, if I could have seen the hours that professional athletes put in to become the best at their craft, maybe I too could have believed that it were possible and done the work to make it happen.
However, that didn’t turn out to be my path and because of that my path is now helping others either find their path or when they already know their path, of helping them to actually walk their path that they feel called to walk.
I help people understand these days that they can have anything they want if they will just believe they can have it and keep showing up day after day, week after week, and year after year to get what they really truly want. I help them to understand if they just keep playing the game they are going to figure life out.
Back to my little kid self if I would have known if I just showed up and practiced basketball every SINGLE day, then I would have learned how to get good.
There is a cycle of success that repeats. The more we show up and practice something the better we get, and the better we get the more we enjoy it, and the more that we enjoy it the more we choose to show up and practice something the better we get.
So what is it that you want right now, more than anything in the world?
What is one simple step that you can take today to achieve that goal, go and do that today and then tomorrow, take your next step… if you do this everyday, you will begin to turn the impossible into the it’s possible.
Remember You’re okay, start doing what’s possible in Your life and you will create miracles!
