What's the Real Cost of X-Skills?

In the dying seconds of the game, the team's star player does a twist, fooling the opponent. The star sidesteps another challenger, and with a flourish - scores again!

   In the after-game interview, the star player tells how being in the "zone" gave them "move-prediction" powers, supported by super strength and stamina, making winning a sure thing.

    As "fans" we swoon at the thought of our star's abilities on the field, and at their charisma off it.

   With glittery admiration we wish, oh, we so wish we were them for a day! Would you want to have the skills and abilities of a great sportsman or woman for a day?

   Would you like to jog onto the pitch, walk into the office, or swagger into the arena, knowing you were empowered with your hero's abilities, skills, or focus? Of course you would! We all would like some hero's ability in one form or another! That's not the question we should be asking. The real question is: what are you willing to do to own skills or abilities of excellence?

   Getting into the "zone" doesn't just happen! Oh no! Legendary skills and abilities that magically summon the "zone" don't come cheaply. X-skills cost sweat, dedication, and effort, paid over a long time!

   "Pfft!" I hear you mock, "no, I'm not investing that much time, effort, and energy into anything!"

    And .... BOOM!

    We just uncovered the very attitude that eternally keeps you ... in lack, in the box, in the rut, in last place!

   Don't you know? Haven't you heard? What you sow is what you will reap!

    The time, effort, and energy you sow with be harvested as focus, momentum and mastery. These golden elements woven into the fabric of your mission will produce the significance you get a glimpse of in your prayers!

   Feint not, friend, for in due season you shall reap! Here's hoping it will be a harvest worthy of who you are!
