Giving Yourself a Fair Shot

In life and different endeavors we take on, we normally do not give ourselves a fair shot. Giving yourself a fair shot is the make or break in most situations. The secret to giving yourself the best possible shot at success with an endeavor is to have faith in yourself, to focus on the desired outcome, and to be consistent with your actions.

If you’ve ever used or heard the phrase, “I’m going to try it out for a bit and see what it does,” then you already know that you are starting out under water. You’re not going to give yourself a fair shake. If you can’t see what you want before you take on the endeavor, you won’t see it in the future either. I remember in college at a basketball practice, one of my good friends and teammates said to me after I’d hoisted up a shot that I didn’t even try to make the shot. “You didn’t even try to make that shot,” he said.
