I said to myself. "How many of them thought they'd end up here."

"Mike, fill me in."

You got it amigo, let's go.

Last night, I was watching the Oscars, with 1 billion other
people around the world.

Some of the stories of the winners and nominees are just
incredible. Inspiring.

As I watched men and woman, young and old approach the stage
to get their awards, it had me thinking.

Here's what many of them, winners and nominees, had in
common:

Someone in their past didn't believe in them
Someone in their past, said "You could never make a career of this."
Sometime in their past, they got on stage and froze
Sometime in their past, they said "No." to a great opportunity because fear had them in its claws
Sometime in their past they didn't get a role they really wanted
Sometime in their past a movie they were in bombed
Sometime in their past, the phone stopped ringing with movie offers

Sometime in their past they had a choice.

They thought to themselves, "Should I wait until "I'd be perfect
on stage" or should I just audition and GET MY DREAM GOING.

What if these talented men and woman waited until they were a
'perfect actor' before they started.

Would we know their names today?

How much joy would have been stolen from the millions of
moviegoers who've enjoyed their work?

How would they feel today if all that POTENTIAL they had
still laid dormant within?

You, I, We. We've been given gifts. Talents, abilities,
strengths.

Which will be greater?

The amount of your potential you cultivate, develop and share
in your life.

Or

The amount of your potential that's buried with you.

Your past taught you perfection.

Today, join hundreds of wonderful actors and actresses who
realized that they didn't have to get it right, they just had
to get it going.

Last night, 1 billion people around the world sat around
their TV's and celebrated the life's work of 250 people. Imagine
that. 1 billion people celebrating 250 people or so.

They didn't wait to get it right. They just got their acting
career going. Wow, now look where they are.

Get it going amigo. Keep it going.

Love Ya! You're The Best!

Your Coach,

Michael
