Last time I introduced the topic Planning For Success. If you missed Part 1, please go to Planning For Success
In speaking with people, both older and young, I hear this often, it’s JUST track, basketball, football, cheerleading, the band, etc.
No it’s part of your life, what we must all do, is put things in priority, have an order of how and why we want those things to happen for us. How we conduct ourselves in those other areas of our life, is very important, it will be a reflection and follow us in the other areas of our life.
Having people in your life, in your corner, when it’s time for track & field, is important, remember we are planning for success. Sometimes we get to pick who those people are and other times we don’t, now even because we do get to pick some people, don’t take for granted, they are going to help you achieve the success you’re after, or help you plan your success.
Once again by letting those individuals who are a part of our life and a part of what is going on in track & field, letting them know what your goals, aspirations are. When they know, they can now help you achieve them. We all have a comfort level when dealing with people, I have found out, that at times we must go outside our comfort level, in order to achieve some of things we desire.
So as young people, please understand the choices you make and how much of an impact it will have as a result. Please make your choices wisely, prayerfully, ask questions to and about those that you are in a position to pick and really those you don’t pick, that are in your life.
You must know it’s your life, it’s your success, plan for it, know you can achieve those things you desire. Know that your plan will keep you on the right track, keep you focused, keep you motivated. When you come across obstacles and you will, don’t give up, follow your dreams, follow your plan of success!!!!
