Never Looking Back

Have you ever been so preoccupied with your past that you never seem to get anything new started and finished? You could wake up every morning making plans to shoot extra free throws at practice or you can tell yourself to run that extra mile and push out at least 3-4 extra repetitions on the bench press. Unfortunately, many of us seem more comfortable accepting their past failures and would rather dwell in misery instead of "starting fresh".Come on people..WAKE UP! You are what you think and say you are.

Did you know that the mind can ultimately design an outline of your life? For example, if you believe and constantly say to yourself that you are the best high school or college fullback in the nation, one day you will be inducting yourself in the NFL Hall of Fame. You may not see it right away, but your mind will slowly mold you into what you think about 99% of the day. So don't give up, many people do not realize that "sticking with it" through the good times and bad will eventually pay off. With all of this being said, imagine if you kept in your mind an incident from 5 years ago when you blew the state championship game by air balling a three pointer in the last seconds. Go ahead, dwell on this all you want and you will one day hold the record for the most air balled shots in NCAA history.

I remember when I was in high school and we only won 6 regular season games out of 17. What did we do? We never gave up, we continued to work hard and have fun everyday at practice. Our high school basketball team always believed we were better then our record showed andwe knew that no matter what happened we gave it our best. We would eventually make a playoff run winning the District and Regional Championship and finishing our season two games away from the State Championship.Never look back at what you did in past, life is full of new adventures and new goals to accomplish. So get out there and make a name for yourself. Look forward with a head full of steam and never look back.
