How do you ever get this good at stacking bricks like the guy in this video, without breaking a lot of your toes?.
1. You have to overcome your fear of smashing your toes because you are indwelt with the possibility of accomplishing such a feat.
2. You have to risk possible injury that could result from your mistakes. All for the growth the would happen in your self esteem through accomplishing your goals.
3. You have to realize life without risk takes a lot more work and no one posts it on youtube. The rewards are also greater than the risk.
4. You can't let the inevitable broken toes stop you from your goals. You know it will eventually happen. Take some time to let them heal while you plan your next attempt. Fear Not! Your not alone. Just believe you can eventually overcome failed attempts. Persevere.
This is a new year. What will you attempt in 09? What will you risk? What injuries and setbacks will you have to be determined to overcome?
