Keep practicing (2)
'In a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize ...Run...as to get the prize.' 1 CORINTHIANS 9:24
Every single footballer, athlete, basketball player and swimmer has to warm up to get started!! It's a natural thing. Your muscles, blood and heart need a gentle push to get 'em going. A bit like life hey? You can warm up daily by practising what's important to you. It's during these warm ups that you prepare to face life's challenges. If you commit yourself to practice you will find that:
1) Life can always be improved: A famous write once said: 'understand that almost anything that has been done in a particular way for a given amount if time, can be done better.' Every single performance can be improved!!
2) Getting better at what you do is risky: Even getting out of bed has some sort of risk attached...so find a safe place to grow and test what is right and wrong for you!!
3) Start with the small things: When you first start to improve you'll get better slowly but you will get better. Remember the difference between a Gold medal 100m winner and a silver medal is hundredths of a second but there is still room to get better...slowly!!
4) There's a price to pay to reach the next level: You heard the saying 'practice makes perfect'; well, its true!! The more you practise, rehearse and go over and over till its right, the better you will be. So keep practising!!
