no lucky punch…..
I love boxing…I enjoy watching it, I like training as a boxer because it is a great workout. I was listening to an interview with a current title holder about his next fight. He was talking about how he has been training and preparing mentally for the fight.
The person interviewing him asked something about how he can avoid a “lucky punch” by his opponent.
The fighter said there is no such thing as a lucky punch. He said if he knocks the other guy out or gets knocked out himself, it isn’t because of luck. It’s because of training and preparation and taking advantage of the opportunity to throw that punch.
This happens in life too….How many times have you heard people say someone suceeded because they were lucky. For get that that athlete trained for years. Or that business owner struggled for years getting his business off the ground.
This is how it is for all of us…..you don’t get something for nothing. You know like the ZZ Top song “money for nuthin” Sure there are the trust fund babies or someone wins the lottery.
But for those of us that do not fit into the above two examples, there is only preparation and focus. We prepare to be successful and stay focused on while we make the journey. And just like the Champion boxer that did not get to be Champion without training and preparation, we cannot succeed without focus and preparation.
So don’t just sit around waiting for your “lucky punch” get out there and make something happen.
