I have found this helpful to keep my success on track. First you must find the person that makes you say, "boy, if they can do it I can do it too." then you must find the person that makes you say, "I want to be just like them." I will use my background in wrestling to explain.
Warm up time at a wrestling tournament looks like a circus. There are hundreds of kids walking, jogging, running, and prancing around the mats to get warmed up and ready to go. You will see some Stretching and others paired up drilling their favorite move. If you pause for a second you will most always find the two people you need to keep an eye on in order to be successful.
The first one: it is the one that has already accidentally bumped into a several dozen people trying to gracefully walk his way around the mat. He has tripped and fallen two times just trying to step up onto the two inch thick mat. However, somehow some way he gets his hand raised as the victor when the match is over. I always look for this person. It makes me say, "If he can do it I can do it too."
The second one: This is the easy one to spot. It is the one that several people are watching with open mouths. It is the one that looks like they have been cut out of stone. They prance around the room eloquently warming up and missing everyone that falls into his path. He drills his wrestling moves with the greatest of ease and the smoothest technique. When the six minute match is over his hand always gets raised. I always look for this person. It makes me say, "I want to be just like them."
Find you two people to keep an eye on and it will help you makes strides toward your goal. Who is the person that makes you say, "if they can do it I can do it too." Secondly, find that person that makes you say, "I want to be just like them."
