Are you having trouble reaching your goals or dreams? Here’s an essential step to start moving in the right direction.

In basketball and other sports, madness often reigns among fans. Those who closely follow a team might often wonder why certain players don’t play during games. Most likely, the coach knows best.

When my children were young, they played a lot of sports. Occasionally they would complain about not playing more in games.

I always had the same response: the best way to remedy that is to get better. Get to be so good, the coach won’t want you to not be in the game.

I think that also applies to life.

If you want to get somewhere, the best way to get there is to get better at whatever it takes to get there. Take classes. Learn how to do what you ultimately want to do.

Get ready for your opportunity when it comes. Practice. Prepare. Hustle.
