Don't Look Down
Imagine you are stuck high in the air, and you
have a fear of heights. Your friends are with
you, and there is a safe way out. All you have
to do is make your way along a two foot wide
walkway to the other side. Your friends don't
want you to freak out so what classic advice
are they going to give you?
Sure. You got it.
Don't look down.
Look staight ahead.
The level you are on is solid, and the walkway
is too, but your mind is painting pictures of
catastrophic death and destruction if you so
much as move a muscle to save yourself.
You may not realize it, but you face the same
situation constantly. Anytime a fear keeps
you from taking action that is going to bring
you what you want.
Only you know what fears are holding you
back. Or maybe you don't. Maybe they are
too painful to even consider.
Maybe it's a fear of what other's will say, a
fear of looking foolish, fear of rejection, fear
of failure, fear of responsibility. I could go
on for hours, but you get the drift.
There is no shame in having the fears. They
come with the territory of living, but if you
want to accomplish much in life you're going
to have to stop giving power to your fears
and take the power back.
You do that by looking at the result you
want, not the obstacles or hurdles that
stand in your way. Look at your dream
and walk toward it. Give no place to your
fears. And whatever you do. No matter
what, remember this.
Don't look down.
Shoot For The Stars,
Coach Dean - The Dean of Shooting Hoops
P.S. You also want to surround yourself with
people who genuinely care about your success.
People who believe in you and want the best
for you.
That describes my buddy Coach Patrick
Chylinski to a tee which is why he has created
an elite on-line coaching program. Up till now
unless you lived in Southern California you
were out of luck. Now you can pick Patrick's
brain on a regular basis and get access to
information he's going to reserve for those
in his elite coaching. Watch your game
accelerate to the next level and beyond.
He will have to limit the numbers so he
can answer your questions personally via
email, but if you're ready for the next step
in your development email me soon at:
dean@deandelker.com
And I'll put in a good word for you.
