With Freedom Comes Opportunity

Freedom. I've never known anything else as a proud Canadian (and I would assume that my American friends who are receiving this email would have a very similar experience). They say Freedom is a state of mind, and it definitely makes it easier to have a free mindset living in a free nation. Yet, how often do you imprison yourself with thoughts of 'I Can't!'

You have these hopes and dreams and desires, and they seem impossible so you don't even try. You settle with 'good enough' without striving for extraordinary.

Jimmy Johnson captured it perfectly when he said that “the difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra”.  All it takes is you going that extra mile, pushing past that automatic instinct of 'I Can't' and just doing that something extra.

What if, if only on this Canada Day/Memorial day week, you allowed your walls to drop, and permitted yourself to dream big, what would be possible for you?  What if you chose as an experiment, if only for the rest of this week (and you can do it forever if you want) to take on being extraordinary, in how you think, act, work and play - what would then be possible?  What extra actions would you take?  What would you allow yourself to see?

In dreaming big and freeing myself up to be extraordinary, I see my company going international in the next year and helping over 10,000 athletes world-wide to push past their self-imposed barriers to realize a performance they only before imagined in their dreams.

How about you?

Happy Canada and Memorial Day Week!

Love,

Coach Kara
