I remember when I was a freshman in high school. I was on the freshmen
basketball team and didn’t get much playing time. I worked hard; but my
skills were not developed enough for me to contribute significantly.
As a result, friends and teammates would tease me regularly about my
lack of playing time. My confidence was not too high as the end of the
season was near. With only a couple of games left, my coach rewarded
me with more minutes as he appreciated my work ethic. As a result my
production increased and I felt like a true contributor.
However the
challenges were not over as during that summer, a few of the varsity
members in a roundabout fashion, indicated to me that I’d ride the bench
on JV. At first I was scared and moments of despair kicked. But I
prayed, maintained my faith and work on strength, conditioning, and
shooting the ball that entire summer. That next year I went on to lead
the JV in scoring and rebounding. Subsequently during my senior year, I
led the team in scoring, made all-state, and earned a basketball
scholarship to a Division I school.

Inward Core
will like to encourage you to take what Marc Lacy has provided and
apply it to your life starting today. Try these easy steps:
- Make a list of the fears you want to face. Select one fear that you will work on for 21 days.
Don't worry about how daunting the fear is, but how you will feel after
you accomplish the goal or push through your fear. This may take some
thinking. For an example, you may want to approach more strangers, but
don't feel comfortable. An excuse you may use is "They don't care what I
have to say." or "I don't want anyone else to hurt me."
- Beside each excuse write down an action step(s) you can take to get rid of the excuse. Ex. "I will start off by speaking to people who get on the elevator with me in the mornings at work." or "I will purposely go to different events, speak to 2 people, and collect their information."
- Assign a date of when you will take the action step(s)
- Talk to someone about your fears/excuses and the steps you are willing to take to push through your fears (Please select a person that will support you and not inform others).
- Celebrate ALL steps you take in order to help you push through your fears (even the small ones).
Please send Inward Core an email of any fears you decided to Push Through or email us if you need more suggestions to help you push through your fears.
