You Miss Every Shot You Don’t Take

“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” ~ Wayne Gretzky

Most possibilities never die because they fail.
They die because you never try.

Fear convinces you to wait.
Doubt convinces you to shrink.
Perfection convinces you to prepare forever.

But remember…
Nothing changes until you move.
Nothing opens until you knock.
Nothing starts until you take the shot.

You don’t need absolute clarity.
You don’t need perfect timing.
You don’t need unshakeable confidence.

You just need one moment of courage.
One attempt.
One step toward the thing you keep postponing.

Effort creates opportunity.
Action creates momentum.
Movement creates luck.

The risk isn’t in trying.
The risk is in staying still.

Life’s meaning lies in taking the shots you fear… because they’re the ones that transform you.
