Capt Dave's Tips |
The only constant in life is "change". Change is good though. It has been said that "Status Quo" is a theory, not a reality. In life we are either constantly learning or constantly forgetting, but never remaining unchanged. A continuous state of growth or atrophy is what creates top athletes as well as "former" top athletes. When we stop trying we start dying. Yes, that was meant to sound shocking. It's easy to say we "Never Give Up", but there are really no other options! Give that one some profound thought! Summer is behind us and the most exciting time of the year (Fall) is on the horizon. Soon it will be New Years again and many will be staring at the same list of "Resolutions" set as goals last year! In life there are "Dreamers" and "Doers". We all know others who talk about great plans. We also know a few who realize their dreams. Ever wondered why these two groups of individuals were different? No matter what your goals are in life, even in sailing, it's important to map out a plan. It can be general or specific, but the more specific you can be, the greater your chances for "realization". Windsong is unique in that we provide everyone a personal Training Coordinator. Many of you know Pam well. Some of you may not. I suspect those in the latter group are still dreaming and not doing. Pam's challenge is to hear your dreams, understand your time frame and budget, then coach you toward success. She is there to help you implement YOUR plan and achieve YOUR ultimate goal. Your goal could merely be to get out of the house and escape for a couple of hours. Your goal might be to charter a boat in the islands with your family in the coming years. Either way, if you share your goals with Pam, she then becomes responsible and accountable to you for results. She can't drag your silly rear end out of bed and make you come to the lake, but she can provide whatever guidance or motivation you require to succeed in reaching your goal. Pam can help shape your plan, but execution is solely your responsibility. Be responsible to yourself and reap the benefits. Decide to keep learning or decide to start forgetting. It's your choice, but make it a conscious one, not a default!
