Hang out by the mat…
There are moments in time when you know that you are around greatness. It’s those moments when you stop and pause, and when you pause you think, and when you think, you start imagining the possibilities of tomorrow. When you have this moment, stay there… as long as you can… and see the possibilities!
Last week, I had this moment… I was listening to Award Winning Keynote Speaker, Clint Pulver share a story about his lifelong friend - Cael Sanderson, who was an undefeated wrestler in high school and college and won Olympic gold! Today, Cael is the wrestling coach at Penn State University. Clint was also a wrestler in high school and shared how him and his dad enjoyed going to watch Cael wrestle. One day, Clint mentioned that he didn’t want to go with his dad - and his dad shared how he didn’t have to go with him, but if he wants to be great – he needs to “hang out by the mat”! BAM!
This is how the greats become great – they hang out with others that do what they do. Want to be a great leader? Hang out with great leaders! Want to be a great bowler? Hang out on the lanes (that was me back in the day 😊)! Want to be a great speaker? Hang out with great orators. Cael was always around the mat learning and working on his craft and that’s how he became great. It's inspiring…
So, where are you hanging out?
Quote of the Day: “It’s not about being the best IN the world, it’s about being the best FOR the world.” Clint Pulver
Call to Action: Share your goals or dream with someone you know and start “hanging out by the mat”. One day, someone will be asking you, how did you get to greatness?!
