Prove the doubters wrong šŸ™…

By December 21, 2023No Comments
  • My client started training for triathlons
  • Everyone in his life thought he was having a midlife crisis
  • He heard it so often he even started wondering that himself
  • On the day of his first tri, he was super nervous and started to think heā€™d made a big mistake ā€” and was even thinking of going home
  • A man came up to him at the starting gate and said something that changed his mindset completely

ā€œWant to know what my favorite number is?ā€ the man asked him. 

ā€œItā€™s the number of people who told me I was crazy for doing this.ā€ 

Then the race-starting air horn blasted and the guy took off. 

And my client was left standing there, thinking: WOW, heā€™s right!

The whole reason heā€™d decided to do a triathlon was BECAUSE it was different, challenging, and uncomfortable ā€” way outside his comfort zone. 

Now it was time to prove himself rightā€¦ and the doubters wrong.

And (you guessed it) not only did he finish that triathlon ā€” he competed in another, and another after that! And now those doubters are his cheerleaders!

Just something to keep in mind as youā€™re setting those 2024 goals!

Donā€™t be afraid to stretch out of your comfort zone. 

ā€œThe sooner you step away from your comfort zone youā€™ll realize that it really wasnā€™t all that comfortable.ā€ ā€” Eddie Harris, Jr.

Sometimes the BEST reason to do something is simply to prove to yourself that you can. (And maybe those doubters, too.)
