Pick Your Pain
Pain is a fact of life. You're gonna have some.
The only question is what kind of pain do you want?
Too many people are satisfied with the pain of
mediocrity with it's minimal satisfactions. In their
mind seeking their dreams would be more than
they could bear.
They are like people in a self-imposed prison who
have rationalized it's not so bad. Somebody feeds
you. You have a roof over your head, and you even
get free medical. Who can beat that?
It's not worth it to them to pay the price to seek
freedom. That would be uncomfortable. It could be
painful, and they decide to just coast and drift
where they are.
I've got good news and bad news.
This life is designed for you to move, and grow, and
learn, and use your muscles, and use your mind.
It's designed for you to excel and be victorious. It's
designed for you to pursue worthwhile goals and
dreams.
The bad news is if you try to coast or drift or stay
the same you won't preserve the "status quo" and
save yourself from pain like you think you will,
you'll go backwards. You'll drift downstream. And
then you'll experience real pain. You'll stay broke,
or your marriage will fall apart. You'll hate your job,
lose your friends, get fat and unhealthy, etc.
In fact, I believe God has designed it that way so
we'll get the message complacency totally sucks.
The good news is the pain of achievement is
always worth it. I have yet to meet a mother who
goes through the intense pain of childbirth, who
when she's holding her new bundle of joy close to
her heart doesn't say, "As hard as that was, it was
absolutely worth it to experience this."
The next time you are tempted to blow off shooting
practice, or your homework, or exercising, or
whatever is hard for you to do at the moment
remember the pain of not doing it and just drifting is
far greater.
Believe me. I've tried it both ways, and there's no
comparison.
Shoot For The Stars,
Dean - The Dean of Shooting Hoops
P.S. I'm not saying you should slave away, or strive
and struggle to get ahead. There is a far better way.
By learning to use the higher laws of the universe
and your mind effectively you can make the way
smooth. Like Jesus said, "My yoke is easy and my
burden light"
Dr. Maxwell Maltz devoted his life to discovering
and teaching how to use your mind and emotions to
unlock those higher laws and reach your goals with
less resistance and pain. See what I'm talking about
right now at:

P.P.S. What Dr. Maltz has done for achievement in
general Coach Stan Kellner has done for playing
basketball, and especially for shooting. If you want to
shoot like a machine, effortlessly and confidently you
really have to have his new DVD.
