If You’re Not Your Biggest Fan, You’re Going To Miss Every Shot

Do you see the guy shouting from the top of his lungs in the picture above?

If you look closely you’ll notice he’s probably one of the biggest fans in the stadium. He makes everyone else in his isle look lukewarm.

Whether or not you watch sports, you’re familiar with what it means to be a raving fan. You celebrate every win that happens. You never miss any event. You drive or fly to see someone perform or play a sport. You wear their names on your hat and your sometimes phone cases. It’s almost as if you’re all in. Committed to contributing towards its success inside the boundaries of being a fan.

Close your eyes for a moment and just imagine…. no, really. Close your eyes and imagine being YOUR biggest fan.

You wake up each day and all you think about it is how far you’ve come and much further you are going.

You cheer yourself on even in the midst of adversity.

When there are days that you lose, you don’t give up because there’s always someone inside of your cheering you on.

There’s always someone screaming encouragement. As your number one fan, you give yourself every opportunity to become better and better through and keep pressing on.

Imagine what it’s like seeing enough value in yourself to be able to treat yourself like you would the sports you get excited about.

Would you be more consistent on your path to personal development?

Would you give yourself more credit than you have been?

Would you take better care of your body and mind?

Would you treat yourself differently with others so that you exchange respect and value?

Would you find meaning in the pain and suffering that we often go through as years go by in life?

It’s fairly easy to get excited about the things we find pleasure in such as sports, music, etc. That’s how we become attached to things like sports and music entertainment.

If you personally know me, and some of you reading this do, you know how I feel each time I visit Chicago. I get all raved up about the city, the buildings, the people, the cars, the scenery. I always end up buying accessories with Chicago written all over it. I make every conscious effort to make a trip there consistently than I do to go to

You name it.

And each time I would drive back home from my visits, I’d lose all that enthusiasm and my life felt like it was “back to normal.” Whatever that meant.

But what would it be like to carry that kind of animation towards yourself? Learning how to be excited about your life just like you do your favorite sports team or favorite city.

Being your biggest fan gives you the opportunity to complete the things that make you great. You keep yourself accountable to the goals you desire. And everything else seems to fall into place and you wonder how it all started.

Cheer yourself on. Be your biggest encourager. And never let go of the value that’s stored inside you. Just because you haven’t seen it doesn’t mean it’s not there.

Be like the guy in the stadium yelling out of his lungs.

Thank you,
