FRUSTRATED? START WITH THIS



I was re-reading an old classic coaching book the other day when I was hit with a backhand reminder. The book was The Inner Game of Tennis.

​ ​

The reminder was a classic statement.

​ ​

It’s one of those statements when you aren’t feeling great you hate to hear.

​ ​

The statement was, “you have everything you need for the journey.”

​ ​

When I hear it, it used to make me feel inadequate.

​ ​

It used to make me feel like everything I was doing was wrong.

​ ​

I’ve gained much more awareness and it’s now a gentle reminder.

​ ​

If you are feeling stuck, frustrated with where you are at in your life, or wishing you were making more money in your life, then this email is for you.

​ ​

My hand is raised as I was feeling all of these feelings above not too long ago.

​ ​

I want to bring some hope to you today.

​ ​

You are on the right track.

​ ​

Just the fact you are reading this is a sign you desire something more for your life.

​ ​

Let me share with you a couple of things you can do right now to help transform your life.

​ ​

Being stuck sucks, what’s even worse is not knowing what to do next.

​ ​

Being broke sucks, but not knowing what to do next is even worse.

​ ​

Being frustrated with your life sucks, but not having a game plan is even worse.

​ ​

What do you actually want for your life?

Back when I was playing sports it was easy to figure out what I wanted.

​ ​

I wanted to win championships.

​ ​

I wanted to be the best defensive back in the area I lived.

​ ​

I wanted to start as a freshman in college.

​ ​

I knew exactly what I wanted, and did everything possible to achieve it.

​ ​

I woke up early and ran.

​ ​

I went to the gym twice a day, sometimes at midnight.

​ ​

I watched everything I ate.

​ ​

And, it worked. I achieved everything I was going for.

​ ​

Then life happened.

​ ​

I got married.

​ ​

I had some kids.

​ ​

My goals became wishes.

​ ​

I forgot about what they were.

​ ​

They were never achieved.

​ ​

I became frustrated.

​ ​

Which brought me to a transitional point in my life.

​ ​

When you know where you are and where you want to go, you can draw a game plan to get there.

​ ​

The problem for me was I didn’t know where I was, and I didn’t know where I wanted to go.

​ ​

I never took the time to investigate what was in my heart.

​ ​

Life became so busy I forgot what my gifts were.

​ ​

Work became a paycheck to take care of my family.

​ ​

I was comfortably miserable.

​ ​

I had to make a change.

​ ​

I had to transition into who I knew I was created to be.

​ ​

Let me ask you again, what do you want for your life?

​ ​

When you begin to answer that question, you will begin to gain awareness of who you were created to be.

​ ​

You will see where you are.

​ ​

You will see where you want to go.

​ ​

You will see the space between and how to get there.

​ ​

It all starts with what you want to become.

​ ​

Start there, and everything will flow.

​ ​

God bless.

​ ​
