Some of you know I recently relocated to be closer to family, and we’ve been checking out various gyms in the area. One location we visited has a basketball court with a saying written on the wall, “It’s Not Over Until You Win!” That reminded me of a blog I did a while back (re-posted here) and the books of the same title by Les Brown and Marilyn Hickey.
In this re-post, you do it until ____. (fill in the blank).
The ultimate secret
The ultimate secret is: Do it until ____.
Do it until ____ is the most common denominator for success in anything.
Some of us learn fast, others slowly, and many of us in between. When you are committed to the cause, the effort, and the result, “you do it until ___.”
Fill in the blank; you do it until
- you gain mastery;
- you do it until you have confidence;
- you do it until you are the best!
The common denominator is “I did it until I got it!
It doesn’t matter how long it takes.
This is a great growth mindset.
You don’t know how long or short it will take to become an expert, yet if you keep doing what needs to be done – one day at a time – one hour at a time – one minute at a time, one second at a time – eventually all those seconds add up to minutes and minutes add up to hours and so on.
It’s not about how long it takes – if we keep doing what needs to be done, we eventually get there and win.
Do it until ____!
