Shift Happens

“Other famous men, those of much talk and few deeds, soon evaporate. Action is the dignity of greatness.”

JOSÉ MARTÍ

WHEN YOU TAKE action, the right action, when you take one step a day in the right direction toward becoming more confident, strong, fit, fast, and accurate, you will get results. Those results may happen slowly at first, just as when you first stepped out onto the ice all those years ago. But you will quickly build momentum—first one foot, then the other; one thought, then another—and quickly you will see yourself making the shifts and changes you need to become a better person, a better player. A winner.

When you take the time to notice the positive changes you are making by taking these action steps, you supercharge the momentum of positive change—just as a fast-moving puck has more momentum when it’s hit with twice the power. The shift in the right direction is happening.

Keep a journal, or a record on your smartphone, or write notes directly on the pages of this book so that you can look back and watch your success build. Doing this daily will sow the seeds of success in your mind. The more you do it, the more quickly you will become more powerful.
