Had a fun time at a shooting range a while back and it got me thinking - how often do we get out and push ourselves and push our limits?

Take up a sport or activity that really challenges you. You’ll be surprised how good it feels.

Motivation is important. And motivational videos can serve a purpose when you are going through a rough patch in your life.

But what if you need to watch them daily to keep focused and get into gear?

Who do you go to for advice? Should you be getting advice from people who work for you?

Should you ask the opinion of someone who hasn’t been in your situation?

What about someone you trust?

It’s important to get guidance from people who have been where you want to go.

There's nothing worse than seeing somebody with so much talent, let it go to waste.

I believe that we all have an innate ability to do things that are very unique and really can't be replaced. You know how they say everyone's replaceable? Don’t listen to them. You can't find another you, exactly like you and people that have certain abilities and certain skills are rare.

Everybody has a unique ability or talent inside of them that they haven't tapped into. But there are so many people that have so much talent and yet still accomplish nothing in their life.
