Raw Baseball-Athletic Talent is Not as Superior as
Being Laser Focused
My message to you
today is simple.
I would take laser
focus and hard preparation any day over athletic
ability. How many times have you heard or seen
someone get something mainly because they have been
blessed by the baseball or pitching Gods with
incredible talent, but fall far short of their
potential.
That ugly “P” word.
Usually you hear the
famous word…but after someone says he has so much
potential.
But, he didn’t
fulfill it. He had troubles with…..
But what do they say
about the guy with marginal talent and makes it a
long way? Boy, he sure made the most of his talent.
I say baloney. Hard
work and exceptional laser focus towards a goal is a
talent. Some people have it, others don’t. Some
people develop it, others let things get in their
way.
What really got me
going on this tip today was an old song I heard on
the XM satellite radio this morning while I was
working out.
The song was E.L.O.’s
“Hold on Tight” hit. That’s Electric Light Orchestra
for those of you who don’t know 70’s and 80’s rock.
Geez, I am dating myself aren’t I?
I loved the message
that was sung in the song. I just had to come home
and check out the lyrics on the internet.
Some of the lines in
the song go like this…
Hold
in tight to your dream
When you see your ship go sailing
When you feel your heart is breaking
Hold on tight to your dream
When
you get sick of trying
Just hold on tight to your dream
I think that’s what
keeps people from really succeeding. Not holding
tight when the going gets tough. When they hit some
bumps in the road. Take the advice of ELO. Don’t let
anything or anybody get in the way of your dream.
I do have to make a
plug for our next
