Yesterday, as I sat through an assembly and listened to some well known retired basketball and football players I couldn't help but to tweet something profound. "What's the point of having potential without any direction." Although the retired ex-Laker didn't say it quite like that, the phrase makes perfect sense.
I was speaking with my LB last night and I had to share that message with him. We speak a lot about our futures and I said to him that we are much different. We don't believe in failure being the end result but rather to witness failure at some point in our careers but to face it head on.
Jim Collins and his phenomenal books stressed that in order for your entrepreneurs like ourselves to go from Good to Great is to face the brutal facts with unwavering faith. This concept of Potential Without Direction resonated with me because that's what makes us different than so many others; we have direction.
Therefore, if you feel like you aren't where you want to be in life, it is never too late to pursue your dreams. Dreamers never make the dream come true. Dreamers that DO make the dream come true.
Live. Learn. Grow
