“Excellence can be obtained if you:

...care more than others think is wise;

...risk more than others think is safe;

...dream more than others think is practical;

...expect more than others think is possible.”

MIND

Scare yourself once a day.
Step out of your comfort zone and live life to the fullest.
"Fight or Flight", that is a very true statement. When you find yourself in an uncomfortable
situation, whether it be physically or mentally, do you rise to the occasion or do you allow that situation to take over?
Being nervous or feeling fear can be a good thing, if it is not allowed to completely take over. Controlled fear can allow your senses to become heightened. The more prepared you become for these situations the better you will be at controlling your fears and nerves.
Speaking in front of an audience, performing surgery, taking an exam, or as simple as taking on a daily workout, allow the fear (nerves) you feel just before you begin to take over but for only five seconds. Close your eyes and slowly count to five, and let your fears completely take over. By the time you reach number five, harness that fear and use it to elevate you to the next level.

"Courage is doing what you're afraid to do. There can be no courage unless you're scared." ~Edward Vernon Rickenbacker
