Motivational Quote - When you’re riding, only the race in which you’re riding is important.
SparkPeople Translation
Thundering hoofs inches away, mud flying in your eyes, riding crops whistling past your ear. With distraction like these, how can anyone be expected to keep his/her eyes on the finish line? But the fact is, when things are the craziest is exactly when you need to focus the most. Jockeys and other athletes perfect the art of tunnel vision. They see their goal and are able to shut everything else out. They know that watching the scoreboard or thinking about their next game will only hurt their performance. When your world is in chaos, when life is flinging mud in your eye, step back and make sure your goals are still in focus. You’ve chosen which race you want to run. No other race can count – so don’t get caught watching another one. There are no grandstands, there are no cameras, there are no frenzied throngs betting on your success or failure. There’s only you, the finish line, and a clear, direct path to get there.
