You need a ghost. And you need to be afraid of it. Oh, I know. You ain?t scared of nothing, and you still have that ?No Fear? shirt from the 1990?s to prove it. But I also know that every successful person, in any field, has a ghost or two that haunts them. A ?ghost? is something that follows you around your whole life, nudging you. While you may not exactly be afraid of it, it does worry and weigh on you:
.
? The fear of being broke ghost.
? The fear of disappointing those you love ghost.
? The fear of becoming your father (or mother, or that bad coach you had once) ghost.
? The fear of not accomplishing what you KNOW you?re capable of accomplishing ghost.
? The fear that your haters are right ghost.
.
On our field of play, maybe these ghosts look different:
.
? The fear of getting fat (again) ghost.
? The fear of being weak ghost.
? The fear of not being able to take care of yourself when you get old ghost.
? The fear of getting naked in front of someone new ghost.
? The fear of swimsuit season ghost.
? The fear of getting an easily preventable disease ghost.
? The fear of getting gassed when walking up a flight of stairs ghost.
? The fear of having toddler arms ghost.
? The fear of coming in last place ghost.
? The fear of getting an old-man ass ghost.
.
These ghosts get us out of bed for a morning workout when we?d rather sleep in. They make us work a little harder, be a little more disciplined with our diets, and take a LOT more responsibility in our lives. They ?scare? us in the right direction. If you don?t have a ghost, summon one. It?ll keep you more motivated than some sugary-sweet meme about shooting for the moon. Now, it?s true, some people probably don?t have ghosts. And they?re probably f*cking losers.
