QUOTE OF THE WEEK

WHAT’S THE GAME PLAN?
keep shooting, keep swinging

“Shoot like there’s no slump”. - Reggie Miller

That was me, except I wasn’t shooting a basketball. I was in a slump, but it was a writer’s block slump. I was struggling to put together the newsletter for this week.

After many failed attempts at putting something together, I decided to go on a walk with my notebook and pen. I wrote whatever came to mind. After a few sentences, nothing felt right. Nothing had a clear point or takeaway. It all felt scattered.
Just a bunch of words with an unclear message.

I think the frustration came from wanting to write something that HIT.
Something that felt like a homerun. The kind of message that would make the reader say, “I needed this”.

But then I reminded myself: you don’t always know how something will turn out or what the outcome will be.

Sometimes, we take a shot without knowing if it’s going in.
But we shoot anyway.

And it’s not always a highlight.
Not every move is a flashy crossover or a stepback three.
Sometimes, it’s just a simple jump shot.

Sometimes, the swing you take isn’t a homerun.
But you keep swinging anyway.

That’s what great athletes do. They keep shooting. They keep swinging.
Even when the outcome is uncertain.

Here are 4 quotes to remind you to do the same.⬇️

1."I think the worst thing you can do as a shooter is hesitate. You must keep believing the next one's going in.”
-Dirk Nowitzki

Don’t hesitate. Keep moving. Keep going. Keep shooting.
The next move might just be the one.

2."I would go 0-30 before I would go 0-9. 0-9 means you beat yourself, you psyched yourself out of the game.”
- Kobe Bryant

Missing means you’re still trying. You’re not losing when you miss.
You’re losing when you give up on you.

3.“Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.”
- Babe Ruth

Failure happens. Don’t let it stop you from showing up and swinging again.

4.“I swing big, with everything I’ve got. I hit big or I miss big.
I like to live as big as I can.”
-Babe Ruth
Go all in. No half efforts. Big swings, big motion.

That’s it.
That’s the game plan.

Remember, 1% better every day, and small wins are WINS!
