They say you can’t steal second by keeping your foot on first.

What does this mean?

You have to get out of your comfort zone.

You have to take a chance.

Keep doing things that put you out of your comfort zone, until you feel comfortable.

Then find some new things to do that make you uncomfortable.

This is mental cross-training at its best.

Do you want to be comfortable, or do you want to be great?

Keep pushing yourself and you will find yourself in a whole new world.

Have you ever had a fear of something?

Perhaps playing in front of a big crowd? Speaking in front of a group? A piano recital?

Fear is normal. But you don’t have to act like you are fearful. Focus on the process, not the outcome.

As a matter of fact, fear is nature’s way of testing you to see if you are serious about your goals.

Are you?
