Expand The Potential Positive
Now, this guy is arguably one of the best basketball players in a generation, but he absolutely SUCKED at baseball.
Even on a medium level minor league team, he still struggled.
On the other hand, there’s been a few athletes who excelled in many sports.
Musicians (or artists) are the same.
There are some that can play a whole range of instruments, and some that can only sing.
Often times in life we find people that are super skilled in one area, but absolutely suck in others.
Plenty of excellent entrepreneurial types, for example, are horrible in other areas. They are great at building a thriving business from the ground up, but not so great at holding a romantic relationship together.
On the other hand, some folks are GREAT a building wonderful relationships, but absolutely suck at anything related to finances.
The trouble with us humans is we get too focused on “content.” On the surface, it seems like building a business is completely different than starting a relationship.
But in reality the two are very, very similar.
So is pretty much anything else you’d like to create.
It’s just that because we have more experience in some things, and not others, it seems like some things are easy, while others, not so much.
Nevertheless, the structure is the same.
We look out into the world, decide what we want, and take action.
Then we measure the results, and see if we got any closer.
If we did, we do more.
If we didn’t we do something different.
So long as you continue to take action, and accept any feedback, you simply can not fail.
The trouble comes when we talk ourselves out of taking action. We imagine some negative outcome as bigger, and more likely than any positive outcome.
This makes it seem like it’s safer to stay where we are. But it’s really all in our mind.
The truth is we can imagine anything we want.
Even stuff you’ve never done before can seem easy, if you imagine the future in the right way.
