Yep, I really was. All through elementary school (I'm in the white dress next to the teacher), middle school and high school. I'm not much better at sports now but I can say I am persistent.
Want to succeed? Want to accomplish your goals? Set a goal, create reasonable steps, read inspirational books about what you want to accomplish, tell people about your goal, find a partner and/or coach and do the steps.
Make a plan and commit to it, you will succeed even if you were picked last in gym class!
"Success means having the courage, the determination, and the will to become the person you believe you were meant to be." George Sheehan (physician, author and running enthusiast)

ReplyDeleteGreat Post Dusty and way to persevere and make things happen instead of wondering what happened!!
ReplyDelete...I have been plugged into motivational books and speakers for many years.
this is one of my favorite quotes.
WORK Harder on yourself then you do on your job and everything will WORK out fine :-) ... too many people let the JOB control all the other things (faith, family, friends) that are so much more important then any stinking JOB...
Reason why I bring this up is BECAUSE some of the reasons people don't have goals or dream as much is they blame it on they are so busy with the job thing...
and lastly this is another good quote...
ALL excuses are EQUAL and ANY Excuse will do :-)
Happy Holidays !!
PS Love the Grade School pic....my NJ school pic looks the same, funny how we all looked pretty goofy back then--hahaa

Here here. As a fellow member of the "picked last at gym" club somehow I thought I just didn't have what it took. Boy was I wrong.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you doing so well. Hope to catch up soon (and to catch up in person in the near future too).
Oh my goodness, I didn't know I was in such good company!
