“Think of the pursuit of your dream as being like at a major athletic event. Train for it.
As you prepare and “exercise” you get stronger – mentally, emotionally, and physically.
To successfully achieve your dream, you need to keep improving.
The best way to do that is to… Keep your body fit ~ Keep your heart flexible
Keep your mind open ~ Keep expanding your comfort zone”.
