It's never too late

I know some of you out there have never wrestled before. I know some of you have taken a year or more off from wrestling. I want to make sure you understand it is never too late to do something great. Don't set invisible barriers in your life.

At a coastal aquarium, a savage Barracuda and a Spanish mackerel were placed in the same glass tank with a glass partition separating them.

Unaware of the transparent barrier, the Barracuda quickly attacked the Mackerel but was stopped by the partition. After bumping his nose repeatedly, he finally quit trying. Later, the partition was removed, but the Barracuda would swim only to the point where the barrier had been and stop... because the Barracuda thought that the barrier was still there.

Many people are like this. We move forward until we reach an imaginary barrier but then stop because of a self-imposed attitude of limitation. All of our lives, we have been prevented from our dreams because we convince ourselves of and what the majority of society understands--LIMITATIONS!

The only limit to any person's growth and progress is the one that we place on ourselves by our own thinking!

Success is simple. The only reason why so many people are held from it is because it is because they remain bound to their own self-imposed limitations.

The following movies are examples of some of the best coaches in the US that started late but made a commitment and went on to do amazing things.
