Every day I see athletes playing it safe.
This is the wrong strategy.
Now, don’t get me wrong because there is a time to be safe, but for the most part it is better to go all-out than it is to hold back.
Jimmy Johnson once said, “Really it comes down to your philosophy. Do you want to play it safe and be good or do you want to take a chance and be great?”

Big risk, big reward.
How many home runs did Babe Ruth hit?

Get out of your comfort zone and do something today that scares you.

Don’t think about it, just do it.
It’s as simple as that. Just put your body in motion and your emotions will follow. One of my students, the great Liz Andrews, is also a marathon runner. Liz says that the hardest part of running is putting on your sneakers.
Use the 15-minute rule. Do something for just fifteen minutes and then you can stop…but you won’t. Once you take action, you start to get into it.
This applies for working out, paying your bills, waking up in the morning, practicing or studying.
