If you believe it, you can achieve it...we often say that and it is a comforting thought with a lot of truth! If we do not believe in the things we are doing, we are less likely to stay committed. If we give something our all and succeed, it is probably one of the biggest boosts to one’s self-esteem that one can get. I tend to think of a powerlifter who is trying to break into 700 pounds for a squat record, and manages toget it done...I can hear the victory yell in my mind!

At the same time, what about the failure? How does that impact people? To make things even worse, how does a setback like injury sound when one is so close? Giving everything, only to get injured, has been a reality for a lot of lifters. There’s rehabilitation, more learning and more growing, advice and help from other people and various sources...and some manage to heal and succeed later down the line with their personal records. Whether you are a lifter or not, know that we can do many great things, but we can’t do everything, and this episode explores being both able to give all, and giving nothing, to different things in our lives!

We cannot control everything that happens in our lives, but we can control ourselves. We cannot predict everything that happens in our lives, but to better prepare and create better outcomes, in our personal lives and professional lives, we can expect the unexpected. With planning and forecasting, we can essentially live by the idiom --- “An ounce of prevention isworth a pound of cure” --- maybe not with everything we are dealing with, but with many things! The best part about planning is that it does not necessarily have to be complex to be effective...and everyone can plan to make aspects of their lives better and more streamlined by following some very important steps!
