A few weeks back I was inspired by a blog post by one of our very own members here at Wealthy Affiliate, Erin. She made an excellent point on the importance of working with the determinations of an athlete.

So today I woke up feeling motivated after seeing a few sports headlines. Made me realize that we are faced with lots of things/ events from which we could actually learn valuable lessons.

Just a few of the recent events:

1. Michel Sweeney makes an amazing recovery from almost falling off his horse to winning the race.

It was one of the most miraculous recoveries i have ever seen!

This guys dangled for a few strides from the horses neck (he actually went lower than you can seeon the picture) but he held on and made it back onto the saddle.

Obviously, micheal and his horse had slowed down due to the unfortunate incident and had been overtaken by other horses. Yet, this formidable pair were able to ride fast enough to take the lead and win the race!

THE LESSON?

Michael could have easily been discouraged and gave up on the race but he did not!

No matter what challenges may come your way and threaten to derail your whole plot, hold on to your horse and tell gravity to jump in the lake!

Get back onto your saddle, ride harder than before and go claim your victory.

2. Ronaldo misses a penalty (Juventus Vs. Chievo)

The pressure that comes with being Christiano Ronaldo, the expectation to not miss a penalty , because CR rarely misses a penalty!

It left him utterly frustrated eventhough his team was in the lead.

What can possibly be the lesson here?

Just beacuse CR missed that penalty does not mean he will certainly miss the next.

No matter how confident or how great you are in your trade, there will be days when you wont be at the top of your game.

3. Alexander Zverev Smashes his racket in frustration during the fourth round match against Milos Raonic

These guys smash thier rackets out of frustration all tthe time!

And they would often say that they felt better after doing so. See, its not that they have anything against thier beloved rackets at that momemnt of frustration.

The rackets are simply easy target and after being smashed, they really look beaten. Gives them the satisfaction.

So when you feel a little frustrated sometimes, go smash something, anything but your important stuff. Definitely not your laptop!

On second thought, please don't smath anything, just take a walk...

I wish you all the very best in your races.

Run at your own pace...but keep running, you will reach the finish line.


Remember,
