We will never accomplish anything spectacular until we attempt to DO something spectacular.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes there are projects or goals so big they seem like they’d be totally impossible to accomplish. Especially as you start to think about every little thing that would need to happen to bring it to pass…all the stars that would need to align perfectly…all of the hours of hard work that will need to go into it…and all of the possibilities of things that could go wrong along with the odds that it may very well fail\u2026 In many ways its a wonder that we would ever talk ourselves into taking one of these really big projects on, or even consider setting those really big goals after thinking all those details through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if we ever really want to accomplish anything spectacular in life we are going to have to dare to jump! We are going to have to think to ourselves \u201cHere goes nothing!\u201d \u00a0And then literally just go for it!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThinking\u00a0here goes nothing<\/em>,\u00a0could be the start of everything.\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0 -Drew Wagner<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By saying to ourselves \u201cHere goes nothing\u201d we are letting ourselves know that it\u2019s okay to go all in and give it our best try, accepting the fact that if in the end it doesn\u2019t work out the way we\u2019d hoped for, it is still worth making the effort…regardless of what the outcome may be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And at the reality is we can\u2019t control outcomes anyway\u2026not really\u2026we can only control our efforts. So we should accept up front that if, in the end, the outcome is different than we’d hoped for going into it, it will still have been for our best good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life\u2019s greatest lessons are learned when we take on the big projects, and set big goals that scare us, and then go for it with all we\u2019ve got! So if the thought of a new goal excites you and scares you at the same time – it\u2019s probably well-worth pursuing. \u00a0Shoot for the stars baby…shoot for the stars!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
