Pressure
“Pressure is a word that is misused in our vocabulary. When you start thinking of pressure, it’s because you’ve started to think of failure.” — Tommy Lasorda, baseball manager
When I read this quote it made me stop and think.
Because whenever I start something new, I always feel a lot of pressure. And after reading this quote, I realized this happens with every new venture because I do start thinking of all the different ways I might fail. Which makes me feel very pressured.
And suddenly I’m not so excited about that shiny, new idea anymore! And then I find myself procrastinating – which only increases the pressure! What a ridiculous thing to do to myself.
So I have just stuck this quote up on my office wall, to remind me every morning to reduce the pressure I put on myself.
