I’m not sure if you follow sports, but this is the season of the Stanley Cup. You’ve got Colorado and Tampa Bay playing in the final.

During the start of the fourth game, Colorado led Tampa Bay 2 – 1. But the game couldn’t end during the normal game time. Instead, it went to overtime with Colorado winning.

What was remarkable is that Nazem Kadri made the winning goal. He’s been out since the play-offs against Edmonton from a thumb injury on which he had surgery.

Who would have thought that the night upon his return would be the shot that elevated Colorado to a strong 3 game win?

When you have injuries to your hands, it puts a damper on your ability to play well.

As Kadri said, “I’ve been waiting for this my whole life. I figured it was time to join the party.”

The K.I.S.S. ~ Take the shot!

You may feel overwhelmed by the pressure you’ve put on yourself or even others. Maybe you feel less competent unless you get a few more things accomplished.

If you can drag your feet on your dreams, you’ll never see them come to life.

Don’t wait for everything to be perfect.

Take the shot!

Just like Kadri believed, you are made for more.

And nothing needs to get in the way of your dreams.

CHALLENGE: What is it that’s holding you back from taking the shot?

Own it. Don’t dance around and try to ignore it. Face your fear with courage and take the shot!

Jump in with both feet. You got this!

And when you need a little pick-me-up, come back and ask to borrow the belief torch I’ve been carrying for you.

Yes, my friend, nothing is impossible.

The world can look bleak and the times can be challenging. But that doesn’t have to put out the fire in your heart!

Stop missing 100% of the shots that matter.

Take one last shot. It just may be the beginning of something greater.

“Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!“
