Yes you got it. You read it correctly. We’re not out of our minds. We really are saying that “anything that’s worth doing is worth doing poorly”. When we found this quote by Joachim DePosada on
web site: The Gary Halbert Letter, it struck such a huge cord. It made such immediate sense to us. The more we looked
more we realised that our lives were built around this quote. What about yours?Just take your mind back to when you started to learn to drive. That very first time, you pressed your foot down on
throttle. The engine screamed. You lifted your left foot off
clutch with such panache, and you hurled forward with such velocity, you would have beaten any kangaroo.
Can you drive now? Then we rest our case:
Anything that’s worth doing, is worth doing poorly.
Do you remember
first time you played tennis? Did you really get
serve right first time? Or did you carefully throw
ball in
air throw
racket and miss!!! What about now? Was it worth doing it poorly
first time around?
What happened
first time you strode up with your bucket of balls on
driving range? You put
ball down and swung perfectly and hit it for what 500 yards?????? Or, did you: 1.miss it completely, 2.follow through and fall over 3.take out a good portion of
matting or grass with
shot 4.hit it with such force it managed a few yards and stopped.
What is all this about?
Reminding yourself that;
Whenever you do something you haven’t done before. Whenever, you make effort to break an old habit. Whenever you are going to do something that is worth doing.
