Do you realize that 2014 is now 3 quarters over? Do you realize that even though most of the year is gone you can still do great things for this last quarter? Don’t stop now thinking well there is always next year. That is the wrong way to look at it. So what you may not hit your goals that you set back in January. Don’t let that stop you from making this last quarter the best quarter ever of your life!
Many people don’t realize that this 4th quarter of the year is what will set them up for 2015. The question is do you want to start Jan 1st fresh or would you like to have momentum going into 2015? I would think the latter because the latter starts 2015 right for you. You don’t want to move into January all depressed because you wasted the 4th quarter again.
Now is the time to get out and kick some butt especially yours! Do whatever you have to in order to make the 4th quarter count. Think about it this way, how many times have you watched a football game and the one team was 10+ points behind starting the 4th quarter and came back and won? It happens quite often. In fact I think I have seen it as much as 25 points behind and they came back to win!
Why does this happen? The reason is you have one team who has nothing to lose so they are playing to win and you have another team who has much to lose so they are playing not to lose. Did you catch that? There is a HUGE difference in playing to win and playing not to lose. When a team plays not to lose they play a lot more soft than they normally would because their whole goal at that point is status quo.
Think about this, you have teams that got way ahead by mostly passing the ball so starting 4th quarter they start 90% of the time running in so they start to have many 3 and outs within the game giving the other team a chance to come back. Now you have the other team who maybe did more runs through those 3 quarters who now knows its now or nothing so they start throwing more and moving the ball. What do you have now? Both teams doing the opposite what they did the first 3 quarters and you have a recipe for a team to have a chance at coming back.
Remember the year is not over until its over. You do not have to squash 2014 just because you haven’t done much up to this point. make the 4th quarter count like in those football games. Create the momentum for you to explode in 2015. Make the comeback to beat all comeback in your life in this 4th quarter of 2014. make it count right now right this minute! The time is never more perfect to do whats right than right now so go out and do it NOW!
