Premature Tap Out

“Hey, I did my best.” We say that a lot when an outcome has not proven out the way we had hoped. And, it’s an extremely effective way to move on from the unpleasant to acceptance. Absolutely nothing off the mark with that sentiment. But, take a minute and ask yourself, “How many times have I said those words too soon?”

Here’s the thing, if we become too easily satisfied with giving “our best shot” (and you get to define what that is), what opportunities are we missing to surpass our wildest dreams? What crazy, ridiculous adventure are we letting slip through our hands? What off the chart encounter will we never experience?

Giving it your best, your all, sometimes is the end to the story. But before you make that call, make sure you’ve left it all on the field. Because what if you really do have one more ‘shot’ left in you before you tap out?

The possibilities become limitless.
