Would A Major Rainstorm Prevent You From Achieving Your Long Term Goals?

Entrepreneur, have you ever been physically  caught in a major rainstorm of any kind? You know the type of major rainstorm,  where you literally get trenched in a matter of minutes!

Yea one of those that happens every so often. And if by chance you did. Would this temporary in nature, uncontrollable physical event put any type of damper on your unwavering commitment to your long range goals?

For ex; if you had committed to (say) walking or jogging X amount minutes everyday or at a certain time of the day, and right during the middle or at the very beginning of your walk or run, a major rainstorm broke out.

Would you (A.) Cancel your run altogether? (B.) Or merely wait it out and just do it a little later? (C.) Or simply carry through with your initial plans, provided of course, that carrying through didn’t pose any type of imminent danger?

And what do you think or suppose tennis superstar Roger Federer might do, faced with  those exact same choices? If he had a scheduled practice session and a major rainstorm temporarily rained on his parade?

Bear in mind, old Roger literally has millions of dollars in his bank account. So is one missed or delayed practice session, really all that critical to the remainder of his careers success?

Or what about this; what if you haven’t even earned a single penny yet and you’re merely aspiring to un guaranteed  future greatness of some kind? Is it really worth it to temporarily jeopardize your health for some fantasy achievement of some kind?

 So What If Anything Could A Major Rainstorm Reveal About Your Chances For Long Term  Success?

There’s an old sports legend folklore type of supposed tall tale that’s been tossed about for many years now; that claims golf legend Arnold Palmer (yes) that would be the very same Arnold Palmer that you’re thinking of!

He was scheduled to pay a visit to the Stanford men’s golfing program, to let’s just say, among other things. Impart some of his many years of (hard fought) golfing know how and  wisdom and also provide a little pep talk to the current Stanford men’s golfing team members.

However, before that could actually take place; on the day of his scheduled visit, a major rainstorm took place and as the players were right in the middle of one of their daily practice sessions, it literally started  to rain like there was no end in sight.

Rumor has it, that it was literally raining so hard, and that the rain drops were so large, that the coach (of course) immediately ordered everybody off the tees and into the showers in order to prepare for Arnold’s scheduled (and much anticipated) appearance.

Well, as the head coach was taking his head count (just to be sure) that all of his players were indeed accounted for and safely made it off the greens.

One player had not yet been accounted for? So the coach asked the other players in a rather concerned voice; “so has anybody seen Woods?” The Woods that he was of course referring to was, none other than Eldrick “Tiger” Woods!

Yea, his real first name is Eldrick,, just in case you didn’t know.

But his (nick name is ) Tiger! And at first several players spoke up and said they had not. But the last time they’d actually see  him, he like everybody else was taking his scheduled allotted number of practice swings!

Finally, another team member spoke up said, “where do you think he is Coach?” And with that, a couple of the players were sent immediately to verify every bodies hunch. And as expected, there was old “Tiger” still out on the practice field, taking his scheduled number of practice swings!

Even during the middle of a vicious unrelenting rainstorm!

And even after being informed by his fellow teammates that they were specifically sent by the coach, to get him asap, so that old Arnold could finally deliver his much anticipated talk to the entire team.

What Do You Think Tigers Actions During That Unrelenting Rainstorm Tell You About His Long Term Chances For Future Success?

Rumor has it, old Tiger informed his teammates to inform both his Coach and Mr. Palmer, that he’d be there as soon as he’d completed his scheduled number of practice swings! Say what?

And keep in mine, to this point in Eldrick’s young sports filled life, he hadn’t earned so much as a single nickel from playing golf on the professional level yet! In fact, he was still an amateur player in college!

Granted, he had a couple of rather prestigious  national amateur golf championships under his belt to that point!

But he hadn’t signed any lucrative multi million endorsement deals yet. Nor was he currently receiving  lucrative appearance fees either!

The point being, since Tiger was still just an extremely talented high profile amateur athlete to that point in his athletic career, would you have made the same decision as he did, or would a major unrelenting rainstorm have prevented you from temporarily achieving your goals?
