MESSAGE #849 TENNIS (AND LIFE) STARTS AT LOVE…

/1 Comment/in /by

“We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.”
-SAM KEEN

This quote is not just about personal relationships, it’s about athletic teams, work teams and ANY type of relationship you may have.

You’re never going to find the perfect mate.
You’re never going to find the perfect player.
You’re never going to find the perfect employee.

Great business owners hire for attitude and train for skill.
Great coaches recruit for attitude and train for skill.
Great women date for attitude and train for putting the toilette seat down.

Okay, that last one was a joke, but I think you get the point.

So what if you’re trying out for a team? If you’re applying for a job? Going on a date?

If you have a great attitude; if you give it all out effort…

Success is inevitable.

MESSAGE #793 DON’T TRY TO BE PERFECT…

/0 Comments/in /by

“They say that nobody is perfect. Then they tell you practice makes perfect. I wish they’d make up their minds.”
-WINSTON CHURCHILL

Are you a perfectionist?

Do you wait for perfect conditions to take action?

Nobody is perfect.

Does Roger Federer hit a winner on every shot?

Of course not, so if Federer can’t be perfect, then neither can we.

You can strive for perfection, but don’t expect to be perfect. If you have this mindset, you may run into excellence, according to Vince Lombardi.

But if you’re waiting for perfect conditions, stop waiting and start doing.

Conditions will never be perfect.

There is no perfect time to start that company.

There is no perfect time go on that diet.

There is no perfect time to take up the guitar.

All you have to remember is this…

The quickest way to hit a target is to start firing and then make adjustments.
